My Cole

I didn't have anything spectacular to write about Cole today. He had a wonderful day and did plenty of fun things (played with legos) but he wouldn't smile for any pictures and I have nothing new to report. So... I just wanted to write about how special Cole is. First let me say that I truly love all of my kids. Someone once told me that when you have more babies, your heart grows bigger but the hours in your day do not. That is so true. I have to divide my time between the three of them and Jim but my heart has certainly expanded to let me love all of them equally. BUT, I do want to say that Cole is my special little buddy. Maybe it's because he is my only boy; maybe it is because he is my first (nothing beats the first moment when you realize you really are a mom); or maybe it's because his daddy was in Iraq for the first year of his life. Whatever the reason, we have a very special bond. He is my little buddy, my special man, my big helper. He can make all the world's troubles go away just my saying a few words. His mind is so simple and perfect. Even though I have nothing spectacular to report on this day, I really just wanted to say that I am blessed with a phenominal little man who amazes me every day. I cherish every second I have with him. It seems like yesterday that Jim was calling the hospital and I was telling him he has a son. Now he is almost 5 and I know the time will continue to fly by...
