This precious little boy is turning one tomorrow, and I just can't believe it! For some reason with him (I think it's because he is my second) I am kind of nostalgic! With Abigail I couldn't wait for her milestones! However, with Jackson I don't want him to change at all. I want him to stay in this stage forever. I know I am being a bit irrational and overly emotional, and someday I am going to look back at this post and laugh. It's just a really good reminder of how fast the time goes with the kids, and I need to slow down and relish every morsel of goodness.
And then there is my dear, sweet Abigail. This girl loves a party more than anyone else I know. She is more excited about the birthday party we are throwing for Jackson than anyone. She keeps saying, "I can't wait for my friends to come over! I just miss my friends so much!"
I took on the difficult feat of taking her to Walmart with me today to pick out some birthday gifts for Jackson. I DREAD taking this girl in the toy aisles, but I didn't have much of a choice today. She actually did great until we got to those stupid, oh so strategic check out lanes. If I knew who to call to get someone to change the placement of the candy and toys in the check out aisles I would so do it. Anyway, she of course found this princess camera that she just LOVED. However, I explained to her that we were only shopping for Jackson today. We were shopping for his birthday. I told her if she wanted the camera for her birthday she could maybe get it then. So she is totally pumped for this princess camera that she thinks she is going to get (or still want) for her birthday (her birthday isn't for another 6 months). :)
