I'm so proud

[Nicole]

As most of you know I have a four year old son, I happen to be very proud of him as any Mother would be.

Well here I am quickly checking on the BB before we go out for the day, and he is on the floor drawing. Well he just wrote his name, something I didn't know he could do. I am so Proud right now.

Takes away from the fact that I currently feel like shit, have no voice and am a little drugged from the medication.

Sorry, I Just had to share this with my extended Family

Take Care and have a good day

"They Learn Fast"

Hi Nicole!
Yea,it's really neat when you notice them do things that you did'nt know they can do.
It's been a long time since my boys where that little,but I have my granddaughter,plus all the kids that grew up with my boys are all having kids,and they bring them over.

But in a blink of an eye,it will be,"HEY MOM,YOU GOT SOME MONEY,AND CAN I HAVE THE KEYS TO THE CAR?"

Congrats. Those moments of "firsts" are SO precious. Enjoy them while you can. I like to watch old videos that capture his toddler moments and remember. Now he's 13 and it's "No mom I HAVEN'T started smoking but have you seen my lighter anywhere?" or looking at $200 of food in the refrigerator and whining "There's nothing to EAT!"

But still good moments at 13, too, like when he won city-wide "Olympic" medals in skateboarding and BMX bike racing last year (OK, he was 12 then, he's 13 now). Even difficult teenagers can give you moments to be proud of and cherish.

Husband and I met when his girl was 12 and my son was 8, so we weren't there to see each OTHER's kids "firsts" but each have our own memories of our own kids "firsts".

Very warm and fuzzy story, Nikki babe.

And I bet Xander didn't even KNOW his name when you got done with him.

 

[Slut_boy]

Nik, that is good news. Very impressive. Less so if his name is Bob or Tim, and more so if his name is something like Llewllyn..... god I can't even spell that. Well done Kid!

 

[Samuari]

They do have a way of reaching us when we're feeling a little down or sick, don't they? I hope you made as big a deal out of it for him as do did for us. post it on the refidgerator door, with the date on it. Before it gets to much peanut butter on it, put it in a scrapbook. My mom did that for us, and my kids love looking at it, seeing that dad really was a kid, too.

 

[Nicole]

Thanks everyone, I just got back from being at my neices Birthday party on a farm and saw all your responses, Thank-you.

You know I love the little guy with everything I have, and yes I made the biggest deal out of it. Imagine this if you will, He writes his name on his drawing at 5:50 this morning while Mum is checking on the BB, he shows me and I go screaming through the house (Well try too), stop hug him in a vice like hug, try to yell (but have no voice), Kiss him all over, and the poor kid stands there like his Mother is going nuts and he's going to need to put her in a Mental institution.

Yep I make a big deal out of everything the little guy does. He makes me the most proud of Mum's you know. Pity his Father misses out on all this isn't it.

Slut_boy babe you know his name don't you?? Pretty good I thought for a boy that won't let you shorten it. Let me know anyway and If I haven't told you I'm sure to sometime soon. By the way did you get your mail?

Deborah, I'm never gonna live that down am I

 

[Samuari]

Nikky, I have never understood why men would volentarly not be a part of thier kids lives. It is sad for every one, the kids are with out dads, and the fathers never know the joy of being a dad. I just don't understand.

 

[Slut_boy]

Yes, I got your mail - thank you Gorgeous. I actually don't know his name Nik.

 

[Lajo]

I am a man and I am VERY much a part of my children's lives (love the field trips to the pumpkin patch or apple ranch or where ever). I burst with pride at almost everything they do.

It is amazing that I can love someone so much that it physically hurts at times. But, with my 5 yr old and 3 yr old...I do. And I would not want it any other way.

 

[Savage Kitten]

I know just how ya feel girl!

When my baby was in k-4, i knew she could print her name which is 7 letters long. One afternoon I was picking her up from after school daycare when one of the ladies asked me if I knew she could write her name. I smiled and said yes she'd been doing it for awhile. My baby looked at me and said 'mommy, let me show you how my teacher taught me to write it!' and proceded to write it in perfect cursive! I couldn't help myself, my eyes started watering and my throat was all choked up. That had to be one of the proudest moments of my life!! *big smiles*

 

[Sammyjo]

That's great!!! Wait til he starts reading...I hope I get to know what your response is to that...I think I shed tears every day when my daughter reads to me...it's like you bring this little creature home from the hospital, and then they start to do all sorts of neat little things..and one day they are writing their name, and next it's reading, and then it's DATING, and...oh shit, I can feel the grey hairs sprouting now...heehee...

Congratulations on having the smartest kid in the world!!! I know you told him that

Write me some e-mail or something, no one talks to me anymore...*waaaaaaaaaa*

 

[Slut_boy]

Samantha!!!! Where have you been baby? Hell, you need to stick around for a little longer this time ..... please.

 

[Sammyjo]

I've been around...somewhat...just haven't found many posts lately worthy of the Queen's response...LOL

 

[Renee]

Nikki!!!! Congratulations!!! I am sorry I wasn't here for the big news... but I ran in just now as soon as I saw your post!!! I'm so happy, the two of you must be so proud. Now damn it, you brought a tear to my eyes, I am proud too for knowing and being friends with the best Mom!

 

[Nicole]

Let me start by saying to you all ... Thank-you.

I wasn't putting Fathers down, just his Dad. You see I keep getting the "I want the responsibilty, I want to be a part of his life" talk, and still nothing. I don't get money from him (not that I want it), I don't get help from him, he doesn't even see his Son at the moment, the reason "He has a girlfriend". Fine get on with your life, Fantastic (beleive me when I say I don't want you), but think of the little boy who's life you keep walking in and out off. I'm bound to get a call at Christmas saying "Can I see him Christmas day" Well fuck you mate, here I am busting a gut to raise this little man to the best of my ability, you call and expect to see him and I'm suppose to drop everything and bring him to see you. That's right, I take him, his Father doesn't come to him. Look, I will truthfully say that my situation is the only one that I know of, none of my friends go through this, and all the Dad's that I know of are brilliant, I guess that I want the same for my little boy too.

I was just saying, that at moments like these, it's a pity his Father doesn't feel the same excitment that I do, and I know that will affect both of them. That is what is sad, because it will one day affect my gorgeous little boy. Please don't misunderstand me, his Father and I get along for the most part, and I'm sure he's sitting there right now not knowing that I'm angry with him. But why should I be the one to call him or take my son to see him??? I have him, I see the joy and happiness on his face daily, I just would like for him to take the time to see how his son is doing.

Anyway, Renee sweetie, Thanks. As for the worlds best Mum, well lets not go too far here, I'm just a very happy Proud one and like every Mum I want to share my happiness with the rest of the world. *Chest bursting with pride*

Slut_boy I'm sorry I thought you knew it, I'll Write you babe.

Sammy, I know what you mean. Some of the things the little guy does now make me cry. I can't wait until we can sit down together and read. Ummm Dating??? Can we kinda hold off on that for now please. I'm going to be one of those Mum's "No woman is good enough for my boy" (LOL).

SK Thanks, and the feel of pride never goes does it?

Lajo and Samurai, I sometimes sneak in at night and just watch him sleep, kiss his forehead and tell him I love him. Having kids in your life has got to be one of the best deals, it really does.

But what makes me sad is that there is so much going on in society, kids that are being hurt daily by rotten parents, when all along their is someone trying their hearts out to be a parent. It is these people that my heart goes out too, these people that deserve to be as happy as I am. So to anyone out there that see's this, I'm sorry for boasting like that, he makes me so happy you see and I just wanted to share his milestone with you all.

Again Thank-you all for your best wishes Take Care.
