I want to take the time today to tell you how much I love being your mom. Taking care of you is at once the hardest and most rewarding thing I've done to date. Next to being your Daddy's wife, it's the thing I love most about my life right now. I know that one day I may have a Mother's Day that I want to spend doing something for myself, but on this first one all I want is to spend this gorgeous day loving on you and your Dad. Today I want you to know that I love everything about you. I love your coos and babbles. I love your soft touch on my arm or my face. I love that you love my bangs (especially when you are gentle with them). I love your toothless smile, your laugh, your dimples, your baby toes. I love your big eyes, your long eyelashes, your double chin and your little bottom. I love watching you discover things, figure things out and problem solve. I love how intensely you stare at me when I encourage you to make the "th" sound you've started lately. I love that you get excited when you see me, you kick your legs and lean towards me. I love that sometimes we aren't sure if it's you we're hearing or the doves and owls outside...you sound the same. I love that being your mom has made me more gentle, more flexible, and more loving to others. I hope that it has made me a better wife, daughter, and friend. I hope that one day you love being my son as much as I love being your mom.
Love,
Mom

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are taking the time to journalize your feelings. This will be invaluable to him when he is a parent himself one day. I love you.
