Big Boy Steps

Well...Tucker is growing up on me...and right before my eyes. There are so many little things that he does that amaze me. Yesterday I told him to go get a diaper...he actually went to my bag...got a diaper and wipes-without pulling anything else out-and brought it to me. He has never done that before. He has started getting his blanket and going to his crib when I say it is night night time-stopping to give Daddy a kiss before heading into his room. Today I was trying to pay the cashier while holding him. I was looking for my credit card and he grabbed a dollar bill and proceeded to try to hand it to the lady. Yes these are simple things but it made me realize how he is becoming a big boy very quickly. He is really into giving kisses right now-which I LOVE! He is having his first day care Halloween Party. I got all emotional because all I ever wanted was to be a mom and I finally feel like one of those school moms who have to bake cookies for the party...wierd thing to get emotional about but I did. I feel like I have a real purpose in life. Yes I am also responsible for 105 kids every day as well...but I get to send those away and get new ones after a year (Thank goodness). I do enjoy being a mom and was telling Will today that I definitely want another one in the distant future. It is just too great of a feeling to only have it once.
