Dear Hunter,
My goodness where has the time gone? In less than 3 months my baby
boy will be 3!!! I just cannot believe this! Hunter you have accomplished so
much over the past 2 months. Mommy hasn’t been a good blogger lately, I haven’t
updated about you in 2 months Gulp! Shame on me! I figured I’d better do so now
before I forget.
This maybe a long post so bare with me.
No more pacies for this big boy!!! It’s been a month since you’ve thrown that
ole’ “Pac, Pac” out and we couldn’t be any prouder! How we did it? You were so
obsessed with your pacy that you couldn’t “seem” to live without it. No matter
where you went you had to have it, but Mommy & Daddy had been telling you for a
while now that Pacies were for babies and you were a big boy. You believed us
for a while then come nap time or bed time you had to have it . So I cut a tiny
hole in your pacy, you tried it out but it didn’t seem to work. We suggested
you throw it away since it didn’t work anymore. You refused, the first night.
Instead you decided to try it out one last night. The next night the whole got a
little bigger. You were in your bed with Daddy when you found it and saw that
there was a hole in it. You threw it in the trash can and told Daddy it didn’t
work anymore and “Pac Pac” were for babies. Ever since that night you have been
free of Pacies!!! We did have a ruff time that first week without you having it
because you were mighty cranky, but you haven’t asked for it since. Yay!
Lately you have been talking up a storm and asking a LOT of questions, for
instance you ask us ALL THE TIME, What’s that Mommy/Daddy?, when we tell you,
you say “oh”. Too funny. Then you ask “Why” when we tell you something, and you
then say “oh”. Ha.You crack me up! It’s a constant thing now, you ALWAYS ask
the same thing at least 10 times before moving on to the next. Ha.
Your new thing these past 2 weeks is “Watch me Mommy/Daddy”. You say so many
things now. You’re a complete motor mouth for sure. Sometimes when you get
aggravated when you can’t accomplish something on your own I’ll hear you say
“Grrr, gosh” (funny but I don’t like you using “Gosh” I’ll have to watch what I
say when I get aggravated huh?)
You have also been saying you want to go hunting ALL THE TIME. It’s so funny,
because we never asked you if you want to go Hunting or anything, you just
brought it up all by yourself a few weeks ago that you “wanted to go hunting’”.
Me & your Daddy were both in shock when we heard you say this. Now this is ALL
you talk about. You are always wanting to go hunting. I think your Daddy & I
figured it out why you want to go so bad, when you say you want to go hunt, you
are saying you want to ride your four-wheeler at the club house and hunt. You
have so much fun at the hunting club because you can roam around freely and get
muddy & do all sorts of things that mommy wont get mad at you for. Ha. You are
just beginning son! We cannot wait for you to shoot your first deer/turkey. Your
going to be one amazing lil’ Hunter!!! J
Last week when I picked you up from school you had a WONDERFUL note sent home…
you went on the potty all day & had been accident FREE!! Yay! Mommy & Daddy were
so PROUD of you! All of a sudden last weekend you wanted to go potty every 15
minutes it seemed like. You told us every time you had to go & hardly wet your
pull up at all last week. You’ve been doing very well by holding your bladder at
night & using the potty as soon as you wake up. We still are working on #2 but
for now we’re beyond proud that you have accomplished #1. I think I jinxed you
though, I told Daddy we maybe onto something after you going to the potty 3 days
in a row with hardly any accidents, then that 4th day you didn’t go as often.
Haha. So since this past weekend you didn’t do as well as last weekend, but
we’re trying and that’s all that matters. At least you tell mommy when you have
to go & I’m not so stressed out over this whole potty training thing. You’ll
get there eventually, keep trying buddy.
Every night before night time, we read our bed time story & then pray to God.
Every night I tell you to lets say a prayer, you’ll hold your tiny little hands
together, and you’ll start before Mommy by saying “Dear God” and then you repeat
what I say. It’s the most SWEESTEST thing I’ve ever heard. Your are the most
precious little Angel God has EVER blessed us with yet!! Your Grandma sent you a
bunny rabbit over Easter that sung “Jesus loves me.” Every night you cuddle with
your baby bunny & sing “Jesus loves me” to sleep. Daddy & I are so PROUD to have
you as our son & Thank God everyday for creating you to be ours. We are beyond
blessed to have the chance to raise you up under God’s roof. What would we do
without our father God and Jesus Christ!!!
You have slowed down on throwing those crazy tantrums lately. Thank you God!!!
But that’s just this week, I’m sure by next week it will be a totally different
story. Ha. Amazing how that works.
You don’t like it when Mommy or Daddy helps you, you say “no me do it”. J
You love riding that darn four-wheeler of yours, you can’t get enough of it. You
like to play with your dump trucks outside. Your hobbies consist of soccer,
football, basketball, baseball, anything with a ball really. Ha. We’ve been
spending most of our evenings/weekends outdoors due to the beautiful weather
we’ve had.
Some things you love the most and have become attached to saying/doing… giving
mommy kisses, trucks and choo choo trains, water, bugs, your Daddy (you’ve
become a Daddy’s boy lately, everything is “I want my Daddy,” Wayne you better
look out, I believe you have your side kick in store for you this hunting season
& such :) ) you can’t get enough of your Nanny ( I wonder why, maybe because she
buys you EVERYTHING you want & lets you get by with EVERYTHING) ha, your spoiled
ROTTEN!!!. You love to eat, (can’t ya’ll tell), you love your cousins Darren,
Melina, & Miranda, you have been very clingy to your Uncle Bubby (Charles) , you
also have been saying Papa a LOT, (even though we don’t see him as often as we’d
like you’ve become attached ;) ) you love your other Uncle Bubba (Jamie), and of
course everyone else I didn’t mention. He just likes to mention these people the
most for some reason. Haha. :)
When you get hurt you still cry out for your Mamma 1st! (that will NEVER change)
:)
You show me your boo boo’s and want me to kiss them or cries out for band aid.
Every morning on the way to school you see the moon & points out that God put
that there. Precious.
I could go on and on about you Hunter and all the precious things you can do and
say now but there are oh so many!! Hunter just know that no matter what happens
through out life you will always have your Mommy & Daddy to rely on but most
importantly you will ALWAYS have the good Lord above. You may not understand
these letters & post I right about you now, but I hope you get the chance to
read them one day and share them with your family. Life is so precious, in the
blank of an eye your life can change and time flies by, this is why I LOVE to
document all the grateful things you do. You are the greatest most precious
sweetest blessing that has EVER happened to me & your Daddy !! (yes I’ve said
this time & time again but It’s the truth). Hunter you are our everyday
laughter, the sunshine in our hearts, the smile when we are feeling down, you
are our EVERYTHING!!! We love you so dearly son and Thank you for being apart of
our life. God created a wonderful gift when he sent you to us, I couldn’t have
asked for a more powerful awesome wonderful God!! Thank you Lord!
Hunter We LOVE you! Keep up the good work! You’ll be 3 before we know it. Sigh!
Love Mommy & Daddy.
