I cant believe that in nine days Wolfie is already going to be seven years old. Where has the time gone?? I know that is such a parent cliche, but it is really so, so true. He has grown so much, and still does every day, he never fails to amaze me. And its not always good amazement. But I look at him in awe every day, still in wonderment that this guy came out of my body. He is turning into his own person right before my very eyes, yet there is so much of me, and of Rex in him. I get a thrill when he emulates me in some way, but an equal thrill when he shows some part of himself that is completely unique. I try so hard to be a “better” parent then what I had growing up, and I hope I an accomplishing that. No one is perfect, and I am well aware. I regret all the time I am sick and unable to do things other parents do, but try to make up for it in other ways. Today he told me he knows he is loved, he is happy, he is safe. That is more then a lot of kids have. I love my son, and can not imagine that there was a time I was actually let down because I had hoped for a girl. No, my son suits me perfectly. And he is growing up way, way to quickly for this mom.
