So I thought I would tell you a little story. Donaven has
always been my sensitive boy. He and I have a connection that I hope will last
forever. He knows when I am sad, worried, sick, and happy or whatever and he
feels it as well. When I got pregnant with Oren I was really sick and he would
be there for me when Travis was at work. He would hold my hair back for me as I
threw up and then he would just hold me and let us relax. Or when I was upset
about something he would always come and ask what he could do to help me. With
this pregnancy he has done everything plus more than last time. One time when
Oren was down for a nap he has told me to lay in his lap and he would hold me
and he rubbed my back and told me to take a nap and he would take care of me.
He just melts my heart. He is such a mommy boy and I wouldn't change it for the
world.
When he first found out that that I was pregnant he told me
it was going to be girl and I just laughed and said we would see. As time went
by he changed his mind and told me he wanted a brother. So when we found out
for sure the gender we went and bought outfits and wrapped it up and let him
figure it out by himself. Well he just threw the outfits and said I don’t want
a sister and he doesn't like pink. We all just laughed and said that was ok and
we can get her different colors. As time has gone by he has changed him mind
and is very excited that he is getting a little sister. Every night he gives my
tummy a hug and kisses it and says goodnight sister and he will even pray that
she will grow. Random times during the day he will say something about what he
will do with his sister when she gets her.
One moment that just touched me was today. It was just him
and I in the car and he was talking about how when his little sister gets here
he will change her diaper and then have to put it in the trash. Then he told me
that he was worried about her. The other day grandma grandma game him and Oren
some money to put in their piggy bank. Well today he realized that his sister
doesn't have one and that bothered him really bad. So he found a little piggy
bank we had and as he was placing his money in his piggy bank he split it with
his sister placing a coin in his and then one in hers.
I just cannot believe how much he loves and adores and
worries about his little sister and she is not even here yet. He is an amazing
big brother to Oren and I know he will be a huge helper and will protect his
little sister as the years go on. I am very lucky to have such a sensitive
child. I hope that he does not lose this quality. I love his so much and am so
proud of the boy/man he is becoming. I love you Donaven Jeffery!
This picture just cracked me up because he insisted on wearing my sunglasses, and every time he would talk he would push them down his nose and then once he was done push them back up. I just adore everything that this kid does. So lucky to call him mine.
