Grayson's love for his sister is astounding to say the least... I mean sure, he flipped her out of her carseat in Walmart. Then the time he forced her to suck on a magnetic dart because he insisted on taking her paci. Lets not forget the time that he was using her body as a ramp for his hot wheels... Sure it sounds like he has it out for her, but somehow it amazes me. He wants to play with her so bad! It is easy for me to over look all the bad times because then I see him hiding under her bouncer and popping up just to make her laugh like in the picture below... nevermind the fact that he just stole her purple paci from her mouth to satisify his craving for his which he couldn't find at the time.
These two kids are a mess... but it is a beautiful mess! He did manage to flip her carseat in the buggy at Walmart, and she fell out (in the buggy)... naturally I lost my temper but after it, he was so sweet to her. He knew he messed up, but all he wanted was for her to get up so he could play with her. Today we were outside playing and I made her a pallet in the wagon, and Gray insisted on pulling her around the yard... he loves to rock her in her rocker, a little too hard at times... but thats not the point. He loves her, and that makes me proud. I am proud to see that I am teaching my children how to love. He loves to give her kisses, and he starts everyday with a hug and a kiss for her. I know that it is a parents job to instill the good qualities in children and to teach them morals and how to understand life and reflecting on my children and the lives they live at this moment, I know I am doing the job right! (pat on my shoulder) Now, I am not bragging... I just happened to have a proud mommy moment and wanted to document it.
These two angels are my heart and soul. They fill my life with nothing but happiness minus the occasional headaches, but the happiness overcomes that! My joy in life is seeing their face light up when Grayson hears the ice cream truck... or Karlynn start to giggle when I'm feeding her bc I am talking to her in the "mommy voice" telling her she's mommy's chunky monkey. Their happiness is pure bliss for me and sometimes its just nice to know that I'm doing something right in this crazy/hectic/messed up world we live in! God gave me these blessings to teach them, raise them, give them roots and wings, and to make sure they know God is the answer to EVERYTHING in their lives. I pray every night that they develope a faith so strong that nothing will break the bond that they have with our Heavenly Father.
In my eyes they are perfect, perfect for me anyways... they were the answers to a prayer when I was longing to feel complete. I can honestly say that I have a purpose in this world and it's to be ALL that I can be for these 2, blue eyed miracles that I chase after, rock to sleep, laugh with, yell at, and dance with every day... for them I am eternally grateful!
