Peyton

I am so proud of Peyton. He is my one that is soooooo emotional. He takes almost everything to heart. When I was pregnant, I have the ultrasound picture & he is sucking his thumb. When he was born he was not 30 minutes old and he is sucking his thumb. He has always carried a blanket and sucked his thumb. Two weeks ago we said goodbye to blankey. He struggled at first, but now is doing great. I think he as just attached his self to a bigger blankey, but he does not carry it around like he did the other. The thumb, well I can't cut it off. We are still working on that. He has been going to therapy for his social anxiety and depression and having to be perfect on everything he does. He is doing really well and they are going to release him in 2 weeks. They told me if he starts showing signs we can always revisit them. We have procedures to do when he gets into the mood of failure. I am just proud that he has given up this blankey. We took pics. Look at the shape this blankey was in.....

Best Day Ever

Well on October 7, 2009 my son got baptised. Though to my great surprise my husband joined him and he got baptised himself. It was a double blessing. This whole week has been great, I have been on a spiritual high. My son is growing up. My friends have taken some pictures for me and I am waiting on them to get email to me so I will post some later. I have been reading a daily devotions for the season and on the day my son and husband decided to become one of the Lord the devotion for the day was "Welcome to the Forever Family". How cool was that. I am going to tear this page out and put it with my son's book, so he can remember. I was sadden that none of my (or Jason's) family came to this. I did have many friends that joined us from our church family to really close friends that are consider family. The feeling of the joy I feel for my son is so great. My son and I have talked, right now (should I say for the past week) we are both working on our relationship. We have not argued, he is listing to me as I am to him. I am working on giving a little as for he is suppose to not argue if I have a strong feeling about things I don't want him to do. This is a good place to be at with my son, I do know that we will have several bumps in the road, but for now it is wonderful.

Teenagers

Why are teenagers lazy?? They never used to be as a child. You will definitely know when your child is going through these years. If they have a chance all they want to do is sleep. Getting them up in the morning is the hardest thing to do. That is when it seems all the arguing start.

My teenager has been complaining that his room stinks. Let's see sweat & a handful of teenagers in a room closed up. They toot ,(fart), burp, eat and leave behind soda cans under the bed or in the closet. It is a whole new world for me. Today Jason and I cleaned the mess out of his room. We pulled the bed and vacuum every single corner of the room, cleaned the curtains, blinds. Pulled out 4 pillows. Oh yea there were 8 pillows in his room. We found socks, gum, underwear under the bed. So he can't complain now that he has no socks. I have done all his laundry.

I don't know exactly how he is going to react when he gets home from work today. The window has been opened all day with his bedroom door open. I hope he enjoys all that his dad and I have done.

On a good note, he has decided to become one of the Lord. He will be baptized this Weds. I will be posting some pictures of this journey. Even though my family can't be there, I have a friend that will be there to take photos for me. I am really a proud momma. This is a great blessing.
