The Shroyer Family: CJS!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how much my little guy has changed my life.....I was already in boy mode when we discovered we were pregnant again, and at the very moment of holding the pregnancy test in my hand, I quickly prayed for another little boy ☺......Another boy, to be the best friend Ethan will have for a lifetime! Another boy, so we didn't have to buy all new stuff! Another boy, so Daddy would be able to have 2 sons to do "boy" things with! Another boy, so that I could fall in love all over again! I absolutely, 100% know why God blessed me w/ my handsome, young men and to this day I thank him! I thought for sure I was meant to have a daughter and even pleaded w/ the ultrasound tech to redo the ultrasound, because I knew for sure there was no turtle peaking at us!!! LOL!!! However, after that ultrasound day, I fell in love with my son and from that moment it was nothing but "blue" in my life!!!!! Ethan has been a great big brother, we didn't have any moments of jealousy when Colin came; however, it was our mission to make sure Ethan knew he was still special and we included him in everything! Colin, melted my heart, and from the moment he came out I knew he was going to be "different"! I wasn't quite sure how or why, but I felt it in my heart this little guy was going to give me a run for my money and sure enough, he has!!!! I was so scared this past Fall with him, but thank God for my husband and his ability to calm me, b/c Colin is just a little boy that has truly conquered the meaning of "individuality"!!!! He truly is his own person and I tell you what, I love him even more for that!!!! I love his "Colin-ism's" as we call them.....He's so smart, stubborn, and so Brenton and I compiled into 1 person that I totally enjoy watching him. He's shown me so much about life that I thank God everyday for this little human being he gave us! My boys are totally different, but yet, the same in some things and I LOVE IT!!!! I think looking back, I know I was just a concerned parent, but honestly I get so upset with myself for letting me "think" something was wrong, when all he ever wanted to be was himself! So, out of this whole experience, I know what God was trying to show me and that was/is.....not 1 person is the same as another so let them be and trust God, as he continues, to work in them! I hear it, I see it, and I'm enjoying the journey I've been blessed with my boys and I'm so glad God gave us Colin, to complete our family! Through him, I'm seeing life in a whole other light and for that I'm forever grateful!!!!!
