i can't wait.

i can't wait to...

teach him about the Lord
have superhero, transformers, pirate, etc. birthday parties
bring him to work functions so he can interact with handi-CAPABLE kids
see David to teach him everything he knows about baseball, football, and everything else
hear him say "Go Dawgs!" and "Who Dey!"
hear him laugh
see what color his eyes are
jump in mud puddles and dance in the rain
teach him about the true meaning of CHRISTmas and and yet still have santa
wrap him up in cute pjs and blankets
NOT teach him black and white - my parents didn't teach me, and i'm better for it
help him go through the toys he's outgrown to give to less fortunate kids
listen to him talk about his day at school
take him to football games and baseball games
take him to church
take him to see all the people who love him
watch him sleep
skype with his big cousin carleigh and her sweet mommy and daddy
take him on a hike
take him to the beach
run with him, even when we're pushing him in stroller
make animal noises
pretend to be monsters
play with nerf guns
encourage his learning, creativity, athleticism... whatever his interests are
put a bandaid on a cut and "kiss it and make it better"
hear him say "mommy" and "daddy"
watch him play with friends
teach him to read
hear him laugh
see the man he will become...

david and i are so blessed. our little david (aka "tripp") is already so loved. we are so grateful.
