...Homemade Rainbows...

him

wildly approaching two
and all that means for a little boy....and his Mama
we live inside a whirlwind together
alternating between the confronting layers of concentrated energy, honest passion and the tenderness of one tiny boys love
mothering accosts me and kindles me, flattens me and fills me
it builds me inside the eye of the storm

I so love Little Boy Magic.

Your words captured mothering a nearly two year old perfectly and beautifully.

Levi has an old fashioned hand mixer in his kitchen stash. Love at first sight I tell you.

Such beautiful words. These young ones with their energy and love - it's just the best. Our littlest boy is so very nearly 2. A fun age! He was born at home on a Rainbow day. One of the reasons I just love the name of your blog!

Yes whirlwind! You captured this so beautifully...and I'm still there at four..."flattens me and fills me" - I am there many times a day, and wonder why I am exhausted and content at the end of a day...

Oh life with a two year old! You say it so beautifully. We here are amidst a whirlwind with our own two year old. My, it is a joyful balancing act.

And what an adorable photo of your dear one.

He looks like he's going to take off into outerspace on that hand mixer!
