Celebrating Motherhood

What more can I say? A boy, a couple of his favorite dogs, a dirt road, a cowboy hat, and a gun. oh yeah and his boots.
If you have never met Cullen than I can honestly say your missing out on something.
Cullen is named after a cowboy and although he is rough, he is also the sweetest little thing this side of dodge.
He tells me at least two times a day that "you are the best mama in the whole world."
When-ever he goes out side at night he will automatically break out in a rendition of Twinkle twinkle little star.
He is not afraid of the dark. Like a couple of others I know and he loves piling up and setting up cowboys and Indians. He loves playing by himself but he gets to do that very little. I try and make sure he gets a little alone time everyday.
He thinks everyone adopted comes from Africa. I guess he dreamed about his papa bear because he came into the Kitchen this morning and said "I miss papa bear." He is tender hearted and have I mentioned smart? He is doing 1st grade work with Coop. OK, so he is not reading but he sits there...and listens....I know he is learning......

I have to pry his boots off at night but the little cowboy does not go down easy.
His guns come off, his hat too and I kiss him goodnight and look forward to his shining, smiling face in the morning.
