I know everyone says that Kai looks just like me. The things is, really she doesn’t. Obviously you can tell she is my child but actual features don’t really look like me. She looks like an older version of me not me when I was her age. Both my children however have my hands. They run in my family, our fingers and toes are all the same.
And now I know everyone thinks Brooklin looks like Del but this may change your mind.
Recently we bought a power wheel for Kaila. It’s been the best gift we’ve given her, and she adores riding on it. Her purple Corvette power wheel has a working radio with speakers that do bump. It also has working blinkers and a horn. When she gets out of it the alarm is able to turn on. Honestly I think ride on toys are perfect for four year olds and Kaila really does enjoy riding around on it. She’s at the perfect age for a power wheel. I’ve now done some shopping around for battery powered ride on toys and I’ve come to some conclusions.
Always shop around online!
Sites like RideOnToys.net offer more information about any kind of ride on toy you can imagine. I always shop around online before I buy anything, and if you are looking to purchase a power wheel for your child I highly suggest looking at online reviews. Maybe your tween wants that new Razor scooter and you want to know how safe it is.
Don’t rule out toddler toys you can find those online too from ride on toys to roller coasters find all the reviews you need online. You can also save big when shopping online. I’ve found many discounts online and refer to the internet for many of my purchases.
Always look online for reviews!

From the moment Kaila was born, I knew my world had changed. Kaila was the ultimate gift that the Lord had given me and she was ultimately is world and my everything. Her Father and I were thrusted into the roles of Mommy and Daddy, and although we have enjoyed every moment, we have also learned a lot.
I look back over the past five years and in many ways it makes me sad. Sad for all the things I didn’t do right and sad for all the things I could have done better. I often reflect on my past and in doing so it gives me a chance to learn, which helps me to change for the better.
The past five years seems to be a blur. I look back and thnk about all the joy and the love I have for her. I would give the world for her, although in many ways I didn’t.
Those eyes, those ears, her tiny hands, and her tiny body. I feel so guilty as if somehow I’ve missed the past five years. It all went fast, way too fast. I didn’t grow up enough and didn’t do it in time.
As a young mother I could have never appreciated the gift I was given. It pains me now as a mother to think about what has happened. Those years seem so long ago and I can never get them back. All I can do now is look forward. Young mothers don’t have it easy. We don’t know it all but we think we do.
Young mothers are special in that they love so deeply for their children, yet are still somewhat of a child themselves. Young mothers need nurturing and time to grow. To reflect on their experience as a mother and the experience of what it was and what it can and will be.
As a young mother I’ve learned that you can never give up.
No matter how much it hurts.
I’ve learned that you can’t always win.
I’ve learned that kisses are magical and can heal any wound.
As a young mother I’ve learned that admitting my mistakes is not a weakness.
I’ve learned that time may heal wounds, but not all.
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself , but for what you make me.
I love you for that part of me that you bring out, even when I don’t want to see.
I love you for passing over all my foolish and weak traits, That you can’t help but see.
I love you for drawing out into the light my beauty, and seeing me for truly me.
