The Age of Innocence.

I will be the first to admit that I often forget that Brady is still just a boy.  Six years old.  I expect too much from him.  I think this is common with firstborns.  I was one myself.  And so was Chris.  I walked into Brady's bedroom one night last week to check on him before bed and found him asleep with all of his favorite stuffed animals tucked in safe and sound all around him.  I was overcome with love for my sweet little "big" boy.  He is so sensitive and loving.  He wants to do the right thing.  He is a good big brother to Livy and to Zach.  He is patient with me and Chris and although he has things he is working on, we do to as parents.  Seeing how innocent he was here sleeping soundly made me remember to see him differently and to try not to have expectations that are unrealistic.

I am so blessed to have this little boy in my life.
