I Love You

Dear Sprout,

Well, me and Daddy were eating dinner and you fell asleep in your swing. You have had such fun packed days and it's good for you to get some rest. You are like me in that we don't like to sleep because there is too much to do and to see! However, sometimes sleep is the best thing for us. So while you sleep, I will write.

Instead of writing about our exciting day in the snow, I just want to tell you how very much I love you. You are the most amazing and precious little man. I have so loved being your mommy -- I cannot begin to describe how much. I love holding you, hugging you, and kissing your little cheeks over and over again. Your smile is the sweetest thing I have ever seen and it never ceases to put a lump in my throat because I just can't believe how happy I am. Being married to your dad and being your mommy ... well, it's the best. It's like, for the first time, I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

Now it's night time. I suppose I should get some rest as well. Sweet dreams, my little one. Tomorrow, another adventure awaits us. Me and you and Daddy, we'll have another special day together. And that is what I have learned -- a day together as a family will always be a very special day, indeed.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

Love always,

Mommy
