Letters to my Son

Dear almost two year old boy,
It seems only yesterday you were born. How can it be that so much time has already gone by? You will be celebrating your birthday in a few days... your second birthday. I am thankful every day that I get to stay home with you and watch you grow before my eyes. All your smiles that melt my heart, your belly laughs and squeals, and even the temper tantrums and fits when you don't get your way; I am thankful for all these memories that I will have with you and I know someday you will get sick of hearing about them. How you give me a kiss when you pass me on the way to the slide at the park or how you always run to the laundry room when I'm chasing you (even though you can't escape from me once you get there!).I love how every rock or twig you find is a treasure that you bring to me with pride, And you must always remember that even when I am angry or annoyed at something you have done, know how much I love you and how you have filled my heart to the brim. 

Motherhood has definitely changed my life. Because of you popular music has been replaced by Disney and Sprout songs, the importance of makeup and clothes are almost trivial to me, must see t.v. for us most nights are cartoons that we have seen at least ten times, and being asleep by 9:30 is a blessing (because  staying up late is the last thing I want to do!). So slow down sweet boy, and stop growing up so fast. Your Momma wants to remember every little thing along the way.  

All my love,
Momma
