Growing up!!!

This little boy is growing up way too fast and I can't lie, I am loving it. It is no secret Wade was a tough baby, when he finally got out of the spitting up 24/7 stage I thought it was gonna be easier. Boy was I wrong. Wade was 18 months old and still not saying Hi, Mom, Dad, nothing not a thing. The poor little guy now had another obstacle in his way and was not happy about it. He had on average 2-3 temper tantrums a day cause he couldn't communicate to us what he wanted. It was very hard and stressful and at the end of the days I wanted to throw my own temper tantrum and just cry. Then all of a sudden this boy turned 2 and bam he learned in 2 months what most kids take 8 months to say. Now we are seeing Wade and seeing his true personality. He is such a joy to be around. He is ridiculously funny, full of good energy, is crazy polite says please and thank you and sorry without even being told. He is smart as a whip and learns things really fast. I learned a lot these past two years about myself and being a Mother, and I wish I could go back and do it all over again and be more patient, more kind, more loving and more understanding. It was interesting how one night about 4 months ago Mark and I were talking about Wade and discussing how we need to be more patient with Wade and more loving, that we need to focus on his positives and love him for who he is. It was but not two months after we started trying harder and praying for help that Wade started to make these big changes in his life. Started talking, had less temper tantrums. I can't help but feel it is because he felt more loved more at peace. There is no question he felt my stress and my anxiety and once I calmed down he calmed down too. I love this little boy soo much and am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for letting me be his Mom.
