There are no words, well maybe a few

Its been a while now that i have been planning to end this blog.. i havent written since April and we are a week away from Christmas so I would say that I really have finished this journey... at least for now.

But i didnt think i would end on such a somber note, when it started so bright so I am going to post today in a beginning process of wrapping this up... I just paced around my living room crying thinking of ways in my head to teach my sweet innocent Oliver what to do in danger when i or others are not there to protect him... Im not kidding.. I literally thought of ways to explain to a child that thinks the sun goes to IKEA when it gets dark.. how to play dead when others around him may really be so. REALLY?

I am starting to question why I brought him into a world like this... why I am starting to consider bringing another one to join him... I am questioning my own sanity of selfishness from wanting them here with me in this what seems to be awful world... and i know...

I need to stop.. I need to be realistic but this is a slipperly slope of thoughts and not where my head should be a week before Christmas. I need to be excited to have my child, my mother, my husband and the rest of my family for one more day.

On a brighter note... I finally did Oliver's 3 yeat old interview. I want to make it all cute and stuff but for now... here it is!

is obsessed with my son.. He had the BEST time tonight playing with his new buddies, who are about 8 and 10.... it was so good to see him playing so well with others after i had been stressing lately... and the best part is that I had time for girl talk without having to pitch a baseball.

Sometimes the things Oliver says gives me goosey's all over. It's so sweet to know that my dad is watching over him!! (I think this is in reference to whispering... he was whispering alot and said thats how Grandpa John talks)
