Happy 5th birthday to Harrison, or more affectionately known in our household as Little Buddy. He’s had a weekend of busy-ness to celebrate his 5 years of life! We had fun this evening looking back over all the pictures from his past 5 years. This of course led to our looking back over all of the kids as they each begged, “where are MY baby pictures?”. It was a neat walk down memory lane often times bringing smiles and laughter. Crazy to see how much we have all changed….Joe and I included!
Well, I am very thankful for the blessing that Harrison has been to our lives. He is his own person who definitely, well, keeps us on our toes:) He is confident and independent., something that often goes unnoticed for some time when you are #4. He is a good “buddy” to anyone, older or younger, thus the nickname. He’s often found tagging beside his oldest cousin or helping along his little sister. He has had us laughing on many occasions and has taught me much patience.
My prayer is that as he grows that the Lord would use his strong will and independence for His glory. That Harrison would seek the Lord in all he does. That as he grows he would not lose his sweet and compassionate heart. And that he would always be our “little buddy”.
I look forward to many more memories with this sweet freckle-faced little boy. I know he won’t be a “little” boy forever but I will always treasure his sweet kisses and “I love you mom, you’re the best mom ever!”
A memory that will stick with me for some time is when Harrison was 3 and we would pray with he and Jackson at bedtime. When we finished praying he would always say…”say Amen brother”, and we would all repeat, “Amen brother”. Only Harrison.
