we have blessed by the birth of our son, ian tobias. what a beautiful child and an amazing little human being. i love being the mother of a newborn infant again. i am reminded how innocent we all have been at some point in our lives. small, helpless, beautiful, trusting, unjaded.
i remember after mckenna was born and i went back into teaching, i had such a tough time with the kids i was assigned to teach. about halfway through the year i realized that they too had once been small, cute and innocent like mckenna was. it gave me a whole new perspective on life and on those kids who were one step away from criminal. even now i think of all the drama with those adult and teenage stars who are struggling to find who they are and making huge mistakes for the public to see along the way. they too were once infants, trusting mom and dad to care for them and show them the way.
that's the parent i want to be. i want to be the one to care for my kids and allow them to trust me to show them what is right and what is wrong. i pray that God will make me a better mother -- the best one i can be -- and that i will have wisdom beyond measure when it comes to interacting with my children on the many different levels that I, as a parent, do each day.
thank you, God, for blessing our family and making it complete with ian's little life present in ours.
