How much joy you have brought to your daddy and me? Sometimes we look over at each other and think,what did we ever do before you were here?  If you cannot already tell, I am crazy about this kid!

How much fun it is when you bring a book over and crawl into my lap waiting for me to read it to you. It is so exciting to see you little brain working and learning new things every single day! Sometimes we get through the whole book and sometimes just a few pages and then it is on to the next thing, but seeing the wonderment in your eyes and that little moment when you are crawling in my lap is priceless!

How every cry that you cry whether it is for attention or a boo boo or because you are tired sends a sadness right down to a place in my soul that hurts so badly that I can hardly stand it.

How happy I am that I have a wonderful husband to share our life with you? I truly do not know how single parents do it. It is such a blessing to have a partner who is just as interested in what new words you learned today, as how many dirty diapers you had. I could not do it without your daddy!

How in those peaceful moments when you are sleeping, I am overcome with a range of emotions. I look at how sweet and innocent you are and know that you have a full life to lead that will be full of joy, wonder, sadness, and stress. It almost pains me that you will have to feel disappointment and even despair and that I cannot keep you from all of the bad things. However, I am comforted that we are not alone in the life battles that we all have to face.
