Mama's boy.....I think not!

Today I have realized that Taegan in far from a mama's boy! Ever since he was born, he has preferred pretty much anyone else over me! Well, I take that back, when he was first born, he wanted me, but I'm pretty sure that was because I was his main source of food! ha ha When I first noticed this, it was with his Nana (Brenda), he would go to her for anything, whether it be food, comforting, or to just simply sit in her lap. It bothered me, but I knew that I was still his mom, and my turn would come eventually. Well, then he became a Papa's (Wesley) boy. They would ride his four wheeler together, eat Popsicles, chase each other, and howl at the moon (you have to know our family to understand that one! ha ha). While he would play with Nana and Papa, I would just sit there and watch him have the time of his life! Now, He's a huge daddy's (Stephen) boy, wont have anything to do with me. Today, I tried to pick him up; He practically climbed out of my arms and ran to his daddy so he could hold him. He wouldn't even let me fix his koolaid, he wanted Stephen to do it! It broke my heart because all these months that Taegan has been on this earth, he has always chosen other people over me, his own mom. I kept wondering what I've done or haven't done to make him not love me or want me as much. Although it does hurt my feelings, I know that he is just 1 and a half years old, and it's not anything that I have done to make him run away from me. I started thinking about it, and I've come to realize that I am so grateful that he has amazing grandparents that want to spend every chance they can with him. I'm grateful that Taegan has a daddy that wants to be a part of his life when so many other kids don't know what that love feels like. Taegan has a wonderful family that loves him more than anything in this world, and he knows that! So, I'm not going to be sad that he doesn't choose me first, I'm going to be grateful that he has a choice of so many people that loves him dearly to go to! :) In the end, I'm sure he knows that mama will always be here for him! To my family (including friends) I want to thank you for all your love for Taegan. He is truly blessed to have such loving family in his life!

5 things I'm grateful for:

1. A dishwasher! :)

2. Nana and Papa

3. A wonderful daddy for Taegan!

4. Hair ties!

5. My life!

Have a great day!
