| One of my favorite pictures of Sam on his 2nd birthday. |
Sam Michael Munn changed my life on May 13, 2006 unlike anyone else ever has. I didn't know the ways I could love until I met this little man. When he was born, I was instantly in love with his sweet little face, his gorgeous eyes, and the sweet baby sounds he made. Even after 3 full days of labor, I would have lived it all over again a thousand times to get to know the love he brought to me.
As he grew, I fell in love with the way he mispronounced words (helicocker, boops, and lellow were my favorites), I loved to watch him do his first dance recital (even though he didn't move a muscle on stage), and I adored seeing how he became a big brother with ease... and taught her how to love too.
Now as a busy 4.5 year old, I love to see him play (and excel at) every sport imaginable, I love to see him figure out problems on his own and how you see his eyes light up when he figures out how to write another letter, and nothing in the world fills my heart like the words "I love you to the moon and back 1101002001 times mommy"
Everyday I'm thankful for my children, but today especially I'm thankful to Sam to teach me how to love, how to appreciate, and how to give myself so selflessly to someone.
Just another thankful thursday :)
