I cannot wait…
to see his smile
to smile back
to hear his laugh
to have him make me laugh
to learn his preferences
to like what he likes
to wipe his tears
to see his joy
to read to him
to listen to him
to show him that we’re here for him
to sit in awe of my love for him
to count his fingers
to kiss his toes
to experience his country
to teach him everything I know about his country
to learn even more about his country with him
to teach him how to throw a ball
to teach him how to catch
to watch him grow
to measure his height on the wall
to show him how to tell time on his Africa clock
to watch fireflies with him
to stargaze with him
to dream big with him
to tell him how much I love him
to tell him how much his birth mother loved him
to begin this life,,. this journey… now
When my time comes, I look forward to singing to my children. And once they’re bigger, to sing with them. It makes me warm and fuzzy whenever I think about it.
Congrats again! 🙂
Oh, Ashley, I love, love, love singing but I have an awful voice. i actually thought about taking singing lessons just so I could sing to him and not have him cover his ears. The time ran out on the front end but that might still happen this spring! Sing on, girl!
Just beautiful, honey!!!
