Elijah Updates and Thoughts

So, my little booga bears started saying "uh oh" this week. He had been trying to say it but this week has been better at it. I also have been saying stuff like " Gotta go potty, Oopsy" over and over for him to hear. Well, on Saturday morning, he woke up before we did and when I finally got up, I was singing, "Gotta go potty, Oopsy" and then after a few times, I finished up the "Gotta go potty" part and just waited and he said "Oopsy". I was like, "Awe he is sooooo cute!". Not biased or anything by the way. Lol

He's getting so big and I am just so amazed at how much I love this little man of mine. I know it sounds silly. I have three other kids. But it's just so different with Elijah. I KNOW how to love this little guy. I didn't know how to appreciate my other kids until it was too late. I mean until we recently had the gospel in our lives it felt as if we weren't really connecting as a family. I just can't stop giving credit to that. I'm sure you'll hear me say that A LOT more in this blog. But it's all true. Family is a central part in our lives now. Our children are more aware of that, too. I think they feel that love we have now. Not that there wasn't love before, but we know how to show it to them now. I hope they always remember that and that they will strive to make the right decisions for themselves.

Anyway, that's my ramble for the day. Hope everyone has a great week!
