As we speak he is assembling some Lego's he got for his Birthday. All by HIMSELF. Step by step going through the instructions BY HIMSELF. Nevermind that the box says ages 7-14. He's a Lego Fan, and doesn't need me. HE DOESN'T NEED ME he insists. That is the part that makes my BABY turning six so hard. But you gotta love him!
People often ask how this little man got the name Bubba. I'll tell you how. He was a FAT little roly poly with fat little fat rolls on his fat thighs. And had a big Bubba head. He ate like a chow hound and got fatter and fatter. And he was just "BUBBA". (Nevermind the numerous ear infections, bouts of pneumonia and allergies to just about everything a short time later that caused him numerous hospital visits and he lost ALL THAT BABY FAT!) He was a sick little boy.
By age 4 the Lord blessed us by making him WELL. No more ear infections, no more food allergies, no more pneumonia. My little snuggle muffin that i constantly cradled and rocked to health in my arms became better. Became Independent. Didn't need his Momma. He became a little bit defiant. A little bit bossy. Temper Tantrums became the norm. His hearing loss makes his "inside voice" non-existent. We struggle with the new normal that is our independent little man. He is still our Bubba and will always be.

He sings to the beat of his own "Heart Song" as we say. And he sings everything. We love that most about our little man. And i wouldn't trade it for the world!
