Stages of a young boy...

As he begins to get older with every day, I thank God I'm able to witness the most beautiful little boy in the world, grow up..take steps to becoming and forming into the young man that's planned for him.
He's going to go through obstacles, some he may be able to overcome and some he might not be so fortunate. I just pray that i'm that mother he thanks God for giving him. I pray with every step, I guide him in the right direction that he needs to go. Teach him things that I was taught. Pray for him when he's weak. & pick him up when he's not strong enough.

Payton,
I know as you get older you'll go through stages. Right now, your in the stage where your mommy (me) is your best friend & your daddy is your hero. I pray that you keep this mind set your whole life, but I know that you will take your days where your mommy is "stupid" and your daddy is "mean" just know that everything we do. We do it for you. We devote our life to you..before we knew you, we didn't know anything. Our prayers were fulfilled when we heard your heartbeat for the very first time.
The next stage I'm sure will be the   7, 8, 9, 10 stage...the "young boy" stage. Where your always right, you want a toy every time we go to a store, ice cream is like gold, and outside is your best friend. I'm not sure what your interests will be, but I can't wait to find out. You love hats and anything with 2 wheels...so I think I may have a good idea what you will be doing ;)
The next stage will be your "pre" teen stage..that's where girls come in..but they have cuties, remember? You'll be mean to them, but don't worry...you'll only do that because you "like them. :)
Next is the dreadful stage...well for ME and DADDY.
TEENAGER....
peer pressure, drugs, girls, party's, cars...
this is the stage where your going to find out who you are, with each teenager year, you'll find out more and more of who you are and what you want to become.
I'll teach you to stay away from drugs, so we won't worry about that :)
I'll teach you how to say no and be strong enough to stick to your word, so don't worry about that either.
I'll let you go to party's that are chaperoned until your old enough to attend them alone, you know...after you move out and all, but that will be after your 20's at least....right? I hope...well that's unless you fall in love with a girl an that was the next part..my nightmare, a young girl stealing the kisses I got every night, and the hugs, everything. All that love that you gave me...well your going to invest that in some young girl. I know it, because I invested that love in your daddy.
Just do me a favor and treat her right. Take her out, show her what a girl needs to see, treat her like shes a princess. I don't know why I'm telling you all of this because I know that your the sweestest little boy in the world. & I just don't see that changing..

Love always, your mommy!
