i'm not wearing hockey pants.

My son Carter is a hand full. Seriously. Ask my family, they've been around him non-stop for almost 3 weeks and I think they would agree with me.

Most days he drives me to the edge of sanity, but this morning I was sitting at the counter in my parents kitchen eating my scrambled eggs and toast, and having a nice cup of hot chocolate. Carter was sitting next to me having toast and jam. He looked over and said "hot cocoa, mmmm" raising his eyebrows and smiling wide at me. He has the best smile, it looks just like his dad's. So I grabbed that little ball of energy, gave him a hug, and smooched all over those delicious cheeks.

I love that kid. He is a stink, he's naughty, he's obsessed with batman and star wars, he's hilarious, and he's mine.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
