Spotlight on M


That's our M. Can you see the trouble in his face? He is nearing 4.5 and is a big kid. He is approaching 50lbs and is almost, almost, as tall as BigR. 

I held M when he was mere hours old, and though he was a funny looking baby, in my opinion, he had the sweetest eyes and a calm disposition. Half of that has changed. He still has the sweetest eyes. They light up a room, and they are an instant tell as to when he is upset or sick. He takes after me in that way. His disposition, on the other hand, isn't so calm anymore. 

This kid is busy! All. The. Time. He has a fierce love for cars, and his blankie (which Craftymama knit for him while pregnant). He loves to race his cars, and asks us all the time which car we want to be in. He is thrilled when we see diggers, firetrucks, or concrete mixers on the road. The boy also plays hard. He is always the first kid to get messy outside, the one who has no qualms about playing in the rain, and genuinely loves to play out doors. 

He has found a new love of geocaching, and does it at least twice a week in any weather condition. Just the other day it was mad hailing, and pouring rain but still M wanted to go. So off he went with Cableman and after a long walk and some searching he returned with treasures for the other kids, but not himself. 

That's the thing about M, though he is trouble, gets into everything, and never stops moving he is the first to share any of his toys, and wants so desperately for his brother and sisters to be happy. He gives the biggest of hugs, and the warmest of snuggles. 

The boy stole my heart a long time ago, and no matter how much trouble he may be, I know he is going to grow up to be a man full of passion.
