So blessed 11.24.14

Finding out your friend, who's not much older then you, had a stroke makes you realize that the body is complicated and fragile.
While she had a stroke, I am going into shock. Thankfully she is doing well, and improving as she learns to walk, and move, and function again.
It scares me to think she's in better health then me,  and here she had a stroke.
I am a diabetic with high blood sugars because I don't think about what I put into my body. I put no effort into taking care of me, because honestly it's too much work.
What poor self-esteem,  no self worth.  No wonder I'm depressed.  And the discomfort I feel in my own body gives me anxiety to face the world outside my home.
This has got to stop! I have been given a precise gift, and I have to fight to keep it.

18 months old, and still growing.

My Boy isn't a baby much anymore. Today he turned 18th months and is very much a toddler, and I'm a little saddened. I miss the little 8lb. bundle I use to hold in my arms. However, he's sweet to cuddle with me once in awhile.
I have had to buy bigger clothes, and some t-shirts he wears are size 2T. Baby faze is almost gone, but this kid is turning into a independent self learner. He amazes me with the things he can do with out help from me or Tim.
We had a fun day just playing inside the house. He loves to climb everything, so if you can imagine he was up and down and all over the sofas. Except we did go out for a quick trip to Toys R Us for a fun new toy. We bought him a Fisher Price Corn Popper which he insists carrying around instead of pushing it so that it 'Pops'.

I wouldn't want it any other way... I have been given a beautiful gift from God, and I am so very grateful to be blessed with this sweet, excitable, goofy little boy

Tim and I finally decided it was time for Kohl to get his hair cut. I did some searching and found a place that specializes in kids hair cuts.
So the appointment was made, and off we went for one of  Kohl's 1st. He was excited. He was clapping his hands while we drove to the place. He even was giggling and smiling. They greeted with big smiles, and they were very friendly, but Kohl wasn't very happy once the electric clippers came on. I surprised myself in not crying, but now the after fact I'm sad to see my baby grow up. He kept reaching for me so I made sure to stick to him as much as possible while taking pictures. Once all was done he looked so handsome...They offered a certificate with pieces of his hair as a keepsake, which was something that impressed me.

For being a good boy, and sitting through the hair cut he got a sucker, which he took to like glue and paper. After the hair cut we went to IHOP for a late breakfast/ lunch, Mmm, Yummy... We had a good time there, and the waitresses all had to come say "Hi" to the cutie. It was cute how he flirted with each and everyone one of them.
