When I talk about you, I describe you as a little bundle of blonde sunshine that walks around and lights up every thing around you. It is truly wonderful to be your mommy. I cannot believe I get to have that job.
You are so sweet and sensitive. Your feelings get hurt so easily. I struggle with finding the balance between helping you learn that the world isn't really the happiest place you believe it is, and wanting to help you hold on to that reality for as long as you possibly can.
One of your teachers called you inspiring. She said that she isn't sure if she wants children, but being around you makes her want to. It was such a meaningful compliment she gave you. You are kind and generous to other kids, and adults. When you hear someone cry you talk about then feeling sad and ask if they want a hug. You have such a sweet nature.
One thing that surprised me so much about you is how independent you are when going to bed. You occasionally let me rock you still, but when you are ready for bed you just wave and say "bye-bye mommy". That is not what I am used to! You recently moved into a big boy bed, and it is going so well. You usually stay in your bed until someone comes in, in the morning. You'll wake up and lay in your bed and just sing and sing...it is such a lovely sound to wake up to.
You do have your moments of unhappiness, but they are very, very rare. It almost always happens at night. You cry at night sometimes and we just bring you to bed with us. You tend to sleep horizontally across the top of the bed though, which makes it hard to share our bed with you. We make it work when we need to though.
Some other things about you:
You love trains.
You love to sing the ABCs.
Your favorite letter is W.
You can count to eleven.
You repeat absolutely everything.
You say, "come on, guys!" A lot. And can do "fums up, guys!" while holding two thumbs up.
You have a huge sweet tooth and love "fweezer pops".
You love to talk about papa and meme, as well as gramma di-di and papa z
You say "thank you mommy you're welcome"
On the way home from school today you said "look mommy, I see moon outside my window."
On the way home from school today you said "look mommy, I see moon outside my window."
You often say "hmm, lets see" with your hand holding your chin as you make a decision.
You sing in your bed for up to 45 minutes before falling asleep and in the morning when you wake up. You are so content to just entertain yourself, especially in bed.
You call your brother "I-Zat" and you sure do love him a whole lot.
You love to cause trouble at the dinner table. Especially since refusing to sit in a high chair.
You have a big heart, my sweet Lu-Lu. Watching you and your brother grow brings your daddy and me such joy. We just smile along with you and are trying hard to raise you well. I worry about you and your kind heart, but I know that the world needs more people like you and your brother. I'm watching the baby years melt off of you as you become more and more the little boy you are destined to become.
My heart is happy, sweet LBZ. I love you so much.
Love,
Mommy
