Trouble Maker

Today my sweet little boy got in trouble at the YMCA nursery.
When I got done working out today, I noticed that Kaden's name was highlighted. Now, before when this has happened, it meant that he fell and hurt himself. So, naturally, I thought that today would be the same thing. As he came out the little door, I examined him to see if I could see any bumps or bruises, but there was nothing. So, I asked why his name was highlighted and the girl said that he scratched a little girl. Uh oh.
She then asked if we put him into time-outs and I struggled with my thoughts of "Are you trying to tell me that I need to start putting him into time-out?!?!", and then, "Did you put my baby into time-out?!?!?!" But, I decided that I shouldn't be a crazy parent who thinks my child can do no wrong. So, I just said that when he does hit or scratch that we do sit with him in time-out and hold his hands. (We really do...I wasn't just making that part up.)
She then said, "I was going to put him into time-out but then he started crying, so I just couldn't do it." (Yeah, welcome to my world, lady.)
I did ask if she told him "no" so that he knew that it wasn't okay. She said that she did, so I told her that I appreciated that. I can't have my child be "that boy" in the nursery! I mean, I go there everyday! I don't want the people who work there, dread every morning because they know that my son is coming in! I just start to stress about these kind of things. I know that he normally is pretty good, so I won't worry too much about it. But, needless to say, we came right home and clipped his nails.

And I mean, REALLY?!?! Does this sweet little face look like a trouble maker?
I didn't think so.....

Awww, he is too cute for words. I just tell people that Addie uses her size since she can't use words. But really, they do don't they? And can we blame them? Keeps them alive around some kids. Cutie Kaden :)

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
