A Mommy Moment

So last night about five in the morning
or so, I hear "Mom" right beside my bed.

It was Walker. I told him to climb
in the middle between Daddy & me.
I get all nestled back in and back to sleep.
About 4:30 I hear "Mom, I need some water"
in that sweet little sleepy Walker voice.
Mind you an alarm clock can blare in my
ear over and over again and not wake me.
One little "Mom" and I'm wide awake.

Of course I got him a cup of water. As I
lay back down trying to get to sleep again,
I couldn't help but think about my own
mom. Ya know, your mom is the ONLY
person in the world you can request water
from at 4:30 in the morning and she'll do it.
My mother still takes care of me like that!
(Don't get me wrong...I wasn't thrilled about
getting up to go to the kitchen, but I
certainly didn't let him know that! I might
have though on the second water run at 5 am!).

Then my thoughts led to the fact that
Walker is going to first grade in a little
over two weeks. WOW. A lot of the emotions
I had as he entered kindergarten are
flooding back over me. Most of all, I just
worry about how he'll do, if he'll like it,
if he'll be happy like he was in kindergarten.
I'm not one of those moms who look forward
to sending their kids off to school. Don't get
me wrong...I've had to threaten sending him
to a strict day care center a couple of times
this summer. But that's beside the point!!!
I love having this kid with me. A school day
is a LONG day for me to not know how
he is doing. Oh, the woes of this silly mommy! All that to say, Walker will ALWAYS be
my baby. My very first born sweet baby boy.After Walker's first night home from the
hospital, he went directly to his bed in his
room. I can remember those middle of the
night feedings, walking across my house, so
tired and cranky UNTIL I got to his crib
and leaned over and saw that bundle of
pure love waiting for his mommy.There.Is.Nothing.Like.This.Love.

EVER!

Sweet dreams, Little Man!
