I just came across these pictures of Lewis that reminded me how happy he makes life.
I cant believe our family is big enough to have a middle child. How fortunate I am that it's Lewis Hendrik.
The day to day stuff with this on-the -go toddler isn't always a breeze, but when it comes to the stuff that really matters, he makes motherhood so easy. He is full of passion, joy, spirit, and love. He is unique in the fact that he doesn't require a lot emotionally. Today I was thinking about how, along with our new life with three kids I have felt some guilt because I haven't been as available for the boys as I used to be.
When I was tucking Lewis in for a nap, I came to the overwhelming realization that he is so very content. Lately we've been dealing with both boys pushing limits, and being a little contrary and argumentative. I've been so worried that I'm doing something wrong, or not being as involved as I wish I could be, but when I was tucking him in and looking at his bright eyes and gentle smile, I knew that deep down he knows he is loved. He feels safe, and secure and valued. He was blessed with this confidence and I saw it in him as a young baby. What a blessing that is to have in a child...especially a middle one.
