Home School Life

2.22.2002 — An auspicious date if ever there was one. For our family it was especially so as this date marked the arrival of our little Leo.

Today my little star boy is eight years old. I love his birthday for the opportunity it gives me to remember what a gift he is. This little one has helped me to realize my confidence in parenting. On the quiet, beautiful morning of his birth I discovered what a wonderful, intimate experience childbirth can be. I felt like I finally had it figured out. That morning was the first of the many gifts of this type that Leo has brought me. I’m finally confident in my parenting and this little one has been the one to help me realize it.

Thank you my little light. Happy Birthday.
