It was a hot July and I thought my first baby would never come. Parker was due on July 14th, and by the 17th I was convinced I would be pregnant forever.

And then my water broke. Excitement does not describe how I felt driving to the hospital. I was so naive. Naive about what can happen during deliveries and naive about the difficulties of parenting.

After a very long not-as-planned delivery day, my firstborn son arrived at 11:49 p.m. I was a mom. He was healthy as could be and stole my heart from the moment I saw him.

Parker,

You and I have always had a special connection. You have taught me so much. I love your heart. It’s big. Like the rest of us, you have issues to work through like selfishness and self-control, but mommy is going to be here to help guide you through those tough areas. You have such a caring, gentle side. You love to please. In a good way. You love to make people happy.

You are so incredibly creative. I hope I am doing a good job to foster that side of you. You love to do crafts with me and always have an idea of what you want to do when we are painting, drawing, or any other artsy activity. It fun to watch you just do your thing!

You love the outdoors and every single creature in it. Every creature. You have a fascination with reptiles right now and I’m doing my best to not squelch that interest. You spend hours each day looking for animals to hold. You’re not happy with things at a distance. You need your little fingers on everything. You’re inquisitive and smart. Oh so smart. You love to learn and I can’t wait to start kindergarten with you this fall. We’re going to learn so much together.

You are athletic and fast. You run non-stop and I can’t keep any meat on your bones. You eat like crazy but somehow manage to burn more calories than you consume. You are competitive just like your daddy and we’re working on how to deal with all those juices. We have to learn good attitudes no matter the outcome of a game.

You are a good big brother. You and Graham fight, but I know how much you love him. You are always looking out for him when it comes to danger and i’m watching you gain patience with him. So much more often you talk with him when he’s mean instead of physically touching him. I’m proud of your progress and I know you’ll keep getting better because you want to be a good example. Evie thinks you are awesome. She is always smiling at you and is growing so fond of your voice. She will need you to love and protect her. I think it’s neat how much you pay attention to her. You’re so rough in nature but so incredibly gentle with her.

I love spending time with you and I hope we always can share special moments together. I’m proud of you, sweet boy! Keep growing, learning, caring, and helping. Follow Jesus and you’ll never go wrong.

Love you forever,

Mommy
