He has grown from a one-year-old, non-verbal, tantruming force to be reckoned with to a delightful almost five year old. He is funny without trying, seems to have a mind for math, and slays me with those green eyes of his, every time I take the time to look deeply into them.
Two days ago, we had a first. Our first ever day with no tantrums, no arguing, no time-outs - a truly amazing day...and I don't want to forget where we came from in the process of where we are going. I know that God has some big plans for this little boy. I also know that life with him will never be easy...but I know from deep down in my heart that he is supposed to be my son. That God is using my struggles with Pineapple to shape and mold ME, to make me a better mom and a better child of God. I just pray that in the process, I will be the Mom that God created me to be for Pineapple. For we are surely knit together in a way that only God can knit two people together.

Oh Trina- this made me cry! You're so amazing and little "Pineapple" is so blessed to have a mother that cares so deeply for him and his future. Your strength is something to be admired. Many blessings to your beautiful family!
Seeing the metamorphosis from a distance has encouraged and inspired me to be sure. Your struggles and victories have reflected God's power as you came to the end of you and relied on Him. Pineapple has certainly brought a zest into our family that I am so very thankful for!
