I've been thinking a lot about my little boy who will not know what it is like to not have the world at his fingertips. Who won't know what a typewriter is or what white-out is for. Who can't imagine going out of the house without his cellphone attached to his hip. Who will never have to rewind a cassette tape to find a song. Who won't know how to decipher a map because google or TomTom can tell him how to get there. Who will never need a dictionary or encyclopedia because the internet is so much easier. Who will probably watch every single show and movie in HD...heck, even in color! Who will probably complain when his mom makes him write letters to family members when there is email, or when it is sunny and he is forced to go outside and play when there are video games calling his name. Yes - mean mommy is going to make him have his OWN imagination. Call CPS!!! Ha!
Seriously though - I envy my son for at this age, he is so naive to how the world really is. He doesn't have to worry about the bills, the chores, the everyday things we do to keep afloat. He just wants to play :) I wish i could just play! Yes, he would rather play with the remote control rather than his building blocks....it's already begun.
I pray every night that he grows up to be the same sweet little boy that he is today. That he has a love for the Lord and has a love for his family. I pray that he doesn't get wrapped up in the 'things' of this world, but enjoy the experiences we have been given during our short time here on earth. To be a positive influence on those around him and an example to follow. I love being a parent.....but boy is there a lot of fear and uncertainty in the mix. Thank you Lord for being by our side!!!
Okay - wow. Didn't realize I was going to go off on a tangent. Signing off now....from my phone. What a hypocrite. Haha!
Here is a picture of our little man!!
