Just wanted to share a moment of our day today. One that was very precious to me in the aftermath of a melty and tender morning for him. I have a post coming that I am working on, navigating through and gathering the courage to put out into the world about our sweet boy and us and our journey to awareness as his parents. Some big stuff happening in our world and it has felt all consuming for a few months but I feel like I am surfacing and able to breathe deep and gain clarity.
I thought I loved big all of my life but I never thought I could love a being as much as I do this being that came into our lives 3.5 years ago. But with big love comes big heartache and then big healing.
More soon. For now, lets just focus on how cute it is that his boots are on the wrong foot and he couldn’t care less. And how he dug my kitty cat knit dread hat out of our hat basket to keep the sun out of his eyes rather than his baseball cap. And that he wanted to wear his friend La La Lemur in his apron pocket just like a kangaroo.

He reminds me of Timothy Green (from the movie ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’) in the best possible ways : )
angie…this brought a tear to my eye. my husband and i have watched the trailer to this film a handful of times and each time we get choked up. the idea behind it feels so kindred to our own story. so thank you for this gift and affirmation. i cannot wait to see it. i have a feeling i will be a mess with a box of tissues. xoxo

Cedar reminds me of the beautiful Cat Stevens song, ‘The Boy with a Moon and a Star on his head’ .
Thanks for sharing this precious moment, so heart warming.

It seems that I remember a time when Cedar wasn’t digging the paints so much … you all have traveled far. I loved hearing his sweet voice!

Well, he is adorable as ever……. As an Early Childhood Educator, your cryptic posts about needing courage to share something about Cedar stirs up all sorts of anxieties for me. I sort of feel like an overprotective, long distance auntie. I hope all is okay for him. xo

You are right on about the extreme feelings about one’s children. Always living in between love and heartbreak.

I teared up at the end where he so gently and kindly asks La La Lemur, “Lemur, want me to carry you?” Not to make too much of this … but I intuit that he has been spoken to, consistently, in a loving, sweet, kind way — that you and your husband and others have walked in the way of kindness and gentleness all his life … and he walks in that path as well.
Big love is right, girl. Your heart must burst all day.

Thinking of you with love as you compose that post … it sounds like a difficult one to find words for and gather courage for … though I have no doubt you will share beautifully and well. Sending you thoughts of encouragement and gentleness to yourself as you do.
