I sure wish I had a picture of Hunter before this tooth fell out. It was down on the bottom and it was so lose he could flop it all the way forward. So, we were all driving north, to get dinner and a movie, & I look back in the rearview mirror and it is sticking out. He has his mouth shut and the only thing sticking out is this dangly tooth and he says, " Look mom, I'm a hog!". It caught me so off guard, I could not stop laughing!
I do love his sense of humor. He has a way about him that will catch you off guard and bring a smile to your face from something witty or clever that he said.
When I was back in Wisconsin, I had some energy work done. Regardless of if you believe in that or not is not the point. There were a few things she said to me that really resonated with me. One of the things she said was that I have been so busy living up in my head that I have been unable to really honor and acknowledge the gifts my children present to me everyday.
She went on to say that when we deliver our children we purposely gift them with something from ourselves. I think sometimes our children can take more than we intend to give at that time, but regardless and for sake of argument, let's just say that is true.
This lady went on to tell me that when I gave birth to Ben I gave him my tenderness, my soul's essence. And I can see that in him. He has a big heart and he is sensitive and very loving. It makes me feel really good to look at Benjamin and know that all that love and kindness did come from me and Scott when we put our energy together.
She said that Katie felt very peaceful and was full of grace. She said that the way Katie is now reminded her of how I used to be ( even though I never have met her before). She said that Katie felt very well balanced. She also went on to say that I should think about why these two are showing me these things and mirroring back to me something I should bring into my own self.
Well, I could not wait until she commented about Hunter. There are times when I just look up to the sky and ask God, "why me, why this child?" I just keep waiting for there to be some clarity as to why there are so many challenges with him.
What she said was this- Hunter is very grounded in his body. He is very firm in himself and that can sometimes come through as being stubborn. But he is determined. She said that when he was born, I gave him those things. And regardless if I gave him as much as I intended to or he took more than I intended, he has more of it than I do. And so for me, it is important for me to look at him and understand what he's teaching me about how to be in the world. Firm, determined, confident and strong yet sensitive and thoughtful while simultaneously observing my surroundings. And I think that since we have moved here those things have been lacking in me and I have not been paying attention to what Hunter has been non verbally telling me.
So regardless of if you believe in energy work or not, because of what she said, I do see my children differently. And that was a great gift from her.
