a letter to my children, every month in 2015
M // Daddy taught you how to cook eggs and you have become the official breakfast chef. I love hearing you call from the kitchen, “Who wants eggs? Scrambled or over easy?” You also make your brothers and sister hot chocolate. I am so thankful for your help! This month, you have become a reading machine. You even read two beginner chapter books in one day! I hope you always have a love for learning.
D // You, my friend, are a card shark. We still have Crazy Eights on heavy rotation, but have also expanded to War and Go Fish. You are competitive just like me, so we have many, many rematches. If you ever make it big in poker some day, remember that it all started with your mama. This month, you have also become so creative with Legos. You played with Spinjitsu spinners at a friend’s house, then came home and created something similar with the blocks we own. You are amazing.
J // You are at such a fun age and I laugh at something you say almost everyday. My favorite memory of you this month was the day we went to the park. It seemed like all the mamas had similar ideas because there were a lot of kids there too. You would run off to play, then come back around and tell me little stories. My favorite was, “I said hi to that girl lady over there. She waved…and then ran away.”
S // Your vocabulary is growing more and more everyday and we love listening to your sweet little voice. Although it changes all the time, my favorite thing you say right now is “shanks” (thanks). You play right along with the boys, playing everything from ninjas to sword fighting. And yet you are the most caring, gentle mama to your baby too. I think you are the coolest girl around.
TJ // Six months old and I just can’t believe it. You are rolling over, sitting tripod-style and have two little teeth. You are such a happy little guy. You are mama’s joy and we all love you so much.
Love you all to the moon and back again, Mamma
