The last few months have been very stressful for me. I started a new job, which meant leaving Talent with someone else through the week. I lost a friendship that I never thought would end up the way it is. I had some other situations that were popping up that I didn't know quite how to deal with. My car is broke, the hot water heater went out...... It seemed like the downpour would never end.
Things have started getting less crazy. The car is somewhat fixed, the job is AMAZING, the lost friendship still hurts, Talent is thriving, and we got our hot water heater replaced today. It's getting better. I still have a few things that leave me feeling like I can't breathe every once in a while, but, with time and prayer, it's getting better.
Tonight I decided I would stay up and watch my favorite shows. Talent was restless and couldn't get to sleep so I put him in here with me and left the lights and TV off while I looked at font foundries online. I'm getting a new tattoo with Talent's name for my birthday. I heard a sigh and looked over to see Talent out like a light. Looking at his sweet face made me stop for a minute and soak in the beauty of this child.
Sure, there are days when he makes me absolutely bonkers. But, for the most part, he is an amazing kid. Talent has the biggest personality. I've never seen so much imagination in one little kid. He loves to plant things and watch the "big booms" as they go down the highway. He has the sweetest heart. I know on days when I've been stressed to the max, he always makes me laugh and smile. I am so thankful to have him and get the opportunity to be his Mommy.
We've been talking about school. He will start in 2016. I have already spoken to one of the teachers there and I feel a little less stressed about his food allergies. I am hoping that maybe he will be able to have my friend as his teacher that first year. I feel more comfortable because she has had food allergy kids before.
Talent is doing much better with his speech. He's still going to need speech, but, my friend, Amanda, has moved back to the area. She has helped me with speech issues this far. I know he's comfortable with her. I think it would be a great thing for him. She has three kids, one a year older than T, and two younger. They get to play at church things.
This crazy beautiful life of mine is good. Tonight as I sit here and watch my baby sleep, I am reminded of the important things in life. So, I'm going to soak up every minute I have with this boy.
