 I have been feeling distant from myself as can happen when the pace of life picks up, I miss my writing days. But days filled with little boy laughter, smiles, grunts and farts are worth the lack of time...
I wanted to write a tribute to Ruthie Lou as I did for her brother but then I was reminded of writing from when she was alive, when I would write with her in my arms and NOTHING could compare to that moment in time. I wrote the following so that I would never forget how special my girl was, how important her life was and how incredibly much I love her. As if I could EVER forget. Happy Valentines Day my sweet loves, RL & RW. September 2011~ **Things I <3 about Ruthie Lou** The faces she makes when I make out with her Her puckered lips Her popeye face Her grunty noises Her Squeals The way she moves her mouth all over How she wiggles, squirms & moves her mouth when she wakes up then stretches her feet out straight She likes to be held close to your body The smell of her baby johnsons hair Beautiful long fingernails, short stubby toenails and missing pinky nail Bony booty Skinny legs with rolls Her little pug nose, long curly blonde eyelashes, crazy blonde eyebrows remind me of papa jock Her amazing crazy hair, the perfect mix of mama and dad Blonde, red, brown golden straw hair She can lift her right eyebrow and wrinkle her forehead Her crooked smile as she sleeps Running my fingers thru her hair Her fists Her Flintstone feet **Ruthie Has Taught Us...** Imperfections are what make us Perfect Patience Parties are worth waking up for That her dad is amazing, more amazing than I ever knew Sunsets are magical I love to write Can't plan and schedule everything **Ruthies Lessons** How to share Family is number one Friends are your family, too Kisses make everything better Love wholeheartedly Appreciate the little things Don't sweat the small stuff Hug your kids tighter Every morning we wake up is a blessing Sunsets are beautiful **Blessings from Ruthie Lou** Reunited a marriage, gave two boys their parents back Helped a mama love her girls with all choices in life, good and bad Uncle ****** made it on time to Ruthie Lou's blessing Made DAD LOVE ME even more Made ME LOVE DAD even more Families are slowing down for time with each other Brought new friends together

 I am in love being Reid's mama, he is a part of me still even though he is now apart from me. We have an understanding of one another that I never want to lose but since he must grow, alas, I will treasure each and every moment with this sweet boy. I love the feeling of his hand wrapped around my finger, holding my hand while his love holds my heart. I love breast feeding him and his soft hand gently rubbing my chest. I love rocking him and his warm body contoured to mine. I love dancing with him and his eyes smiling up at me. I love sleeping with his snuggled body meshed next to mine. I love bath time that is more about playing than getting clean. I love wearing this boy on long walks, sharing with him all that is nature around us. i love reading him books and watching his mind learning with such wonder. I love soothing him when he is crying out for his mama. I love staring at his sweet face, us smiling at one another. I love the sound of laughter brightening the silent walls of our home. I love waking in the morning to a smile so bright it could light up all the sadness in my heart. I love our sweet boy Reid, for all he has brought, all that he is and all that will grow to be. |
