Boy Mom

I am still new to the whole mommy scene. I have almost three years in the game. My son will turn three in April this year.

What I can say already is the connection I have with my son is so beautiful. The attachment my son has with me is unreal at times. He truly loves his mom. He shows it in so many ways.

The love I feel from my son brings me so much joy. It amazes me that God trust me with a son. I believe a part of me desired to feel his love in my life. He brings so much inspiration to my life.

When my son looks at me I believe he sees security, safety, nurturing love and compassion. When I look at him I see the same. He pushes me to become a strong nurturing mother.

Now raising a son comes with some challenges. I am still trying to adjust to the ruff horse playing and how hard his head is when he hits it. Little boys make you trust they will be alright after an intense fall. This can happen over and over again in one day.

Having a son changed my life. It allowed me to worry less and trust more. He is predictable and unpredictable at the same time. As I get to know his ways it strengthens me to trust that he will be ok.

This is a reflection of life. I am reminded that when I fall everything will be alright. Life reminds me of raising my son because he takes me on a rollercoaster ride daily. There are curves, bumps, hills and heart dropping moments. Gratefully, each day I get off the ride and I am just fine.
