I never knew it would change my life. As in, nothing would ever be the same. Ever. And, I wouldn't change it for the world.
God blessed me by picking me to be the mommy to my sweet little Rei-Guy. I am blown away each and every day about how amazing this little person is, and just when I think I can't love him anymore than I already do, he proves me wrong.
His smile. His eyes. His tender heart. His super smart brain. His little hands that touch everything. His mouth that never stops moving (yep, he even talks in his sleep.). His little feet that are always on the go. His little bum that now works just like it should. His caring personality. His love for his cousin. His "love you's" that I get to hear at random times, (especially when he's done something wrong). His passing for life. His EVERYTHING.
I have such trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that he's been present in my life for 3 entire years now. I am frantically searching for a "pause" button. I need it so that I don't forget a day we spend together, a phrase he says that has me laughing out loud, an expression he makes that reminds me of my Mom and Uncle Ron (I'm pretty sure he's channeling both of them on certain days!) or a silly gesture he makes.
Being a mommy has taught me that no matter what life hands me, or the road it takes me down, I still have the best job in the world. I get to come home to unconditional love, hugs and sloppy kisses, an endless supply of trucks, trains and play-doh and a place where blowing bubbles in the living room makes everything blissful. Who could ask for anything more?!?!?!?!?!
My Dear Sweet Three Year Old,
I am so thankful I get to spend my life being your mommy. You make me smile everyday. I absolutely love watching you explore the world, get to know the person you are becoming, solve problems without help, embrace the world and smile because you only know happiness. You make Daddy and I better people by the lessons you teach us everyday.
Here are some things that make you, YOU, at 3 years old.
- You love Caillou. We can get you to do anything if we tell you that Caillou wants you to do it, or that Caillou would do it himself.
- You love broccoli.
- One of your very favorite things to do is snuggle on the couch or in Mommy and Daddy's bed with one or both of us.
- You love, love, love your friends at Ms. Betsy's. Especially Halee and Carson. But mostly Halee.
- Ever since we went to see the Pediatric Gastronology Specialist, you are a potty pro. You go all day (wearing a pull-up) but never having an accident.
- You love spending time with both Aunties and Uncles.
- Peanut Butter Cups are your most favorite treat.
- You're still such a peanut. Someday, we'll grow out of your 12-18 month shirts and your waist of your pants will fit (we have to wear 2T, but they just fall off unless we tape or rope them!) An example of how tiny you still are; You just rolled into the play room, sitting on a toy ambulance (that you can still fit on!) shouting, "Look at me!"
- Your cousin, Brady, is one of your very best friends.
- You prefer to play with anything that has wheels and makes noise.
- Playing outside in the dirt will keep you busy longer than anything else. Especially if we let you take a truck out to drive through the dirt with.
- If we aren't in the same room, we can always find you by listening for the song you're singing.
- You very proudly count to 12 at all hours of the day.
- You are an amazing problem solver.
- You are persistent in everything. Especially if it's something you really, really, want.
- You love to play Tozzle on our iPhone.
- You're imagination inspires me.
- You're very favorite person in the world is your Daddy.
- You love ice-cream cones.
- You hate footie pajamas.
- Your smile lights up a room, your little voice makes everyone who hears it smile, your love of life is an inspiration to everyone you meet.
Love,
Mommy
