Porter

Last night, I got to spend some special one-on-one time with just Porter. With having multiple children who are so close in age, and another one on the way, I really, really cherish quality time spent with each child. It was nothing super planned out, but he and I took a trip to the grocery store to return a movie and ended up sharing a juice in the deli. He loves juice and time to talk without having to wait his turn. Needless to say, he was elated. This sweet boy talked my ears off and I loved hearing every single thing he had to say! I wish I could record or write down how many funny, witty, smart, perceptive things he says in a day. He amazes me! He is so precious and has such an amazing, compassionate heart. Particularly towards animals. His bedtime prayer last night: "Thank you God for horses and cake and Texas longhorns and for letting animals sleep in their barns. Amen." I mean, really?! I adore him! I could go on and on about how special he is to me and how precious he is but at 3 years and 4 months, some things id like to remember about him are:

*He loves putting on shows and being the center of attention. The shows are usually rodeo or clown shows.

*His favorite thing to eat is roll-ups: string cheese wrapped in deli meat and dipped in mustard. He will eat any fruit and loves all of them. Veggies, not so much. He loves baby carrots and will tolerate green beans.

*He thinks the baby is a boy and wants to name him Cowboy Tex. 

*He is wildly passionate about horses, cows and bulls. He says he wants to be a horse farmer when he grows up.

*Watching a show with mom and dad on our bed before bedtime is still one of his favorite parts of the day.

*He absolutely loves being outside, but doesn't love getting dirty.

*He has days where he has a certain shirt in mind, but usually he couldn't care less what he wears and isn't picky about clothes. Except for socks. The kid has socks on at all times and hates for his feet to be showing!

*His daddy is his best buddy and he thinks anything dad does must be cool enough to do also!

*His favorite movies are still the Toy Story movies and he watches them any chance he gets. Jessie the Cowgirl and Bullseye are his favorites.

I adore this boy and am so thankful for each day that I get to be his mama!
