Hi my sweet girl. I just got done reading a small journal
my mom kept as she wrote down memories and things about me as I was a baby and
toddler. It was so fun to read her thoughts about me and feel her love as she
wrote. I hope that is what you get out of this as you read my letters to you!
I
love you so much. You are three and bold and beautiful and smart and
independent and funny and sweet and sassy. I hope you never give up on your
confidence and excitement for life and new things. You have a fun imagination
and like to play games. You like to be the mommy and I'm the "honey".
You're a sweet little mommy and you take good care of your honey. You aren't
nice to your brother and that's probably my biggest frustration with you right
now. You like to terrorize him and I'm at a loss of what to do. I feel like if
you could just play sweet with him all my problems would be solved. He loves
and is fascinated by you, but he's also scared of you and doesn't have much
patience for your constant badgering. I'm assuming one day you'll move past it,
but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.
Right now you love to play with other kids. Everyone
immediately becomes your friend and you can play outside with kids you just met
for hours. You're a social butterfly. Sometimes you're the one in charge, but
most of the time you're fine with following the leader. As long as they're
being nice to you, you aren't too particular. You love to climb and test your
body and learn what it can do. You also love to draw and color and surprisingly
you prefer a pen and lined paper over crayons and a coloring book.
You have a funny mind that is a bit OCD/neurotic. If
something is broken or bent or cracked you can't move past it. You like things
how they should be. Your shirts can't come up in the back when you sit down or
you freak out. You don't like capris, 3/4 length sleeves or tankinis because
you think they just don't fit.
You're talking wonderfully and you're a big chatterbox.
You're also a champion whiner and it really gets on my nerves. I've had to say
many prayers of forgiveness for losing my temper, and my prayers for help in
being more patient with you. But at the end of the day you want me to
"hold me for little bit" and sing you lots of songs. I'm trying not
to rush those nights. I'll know I will miss them soon enough.
I love you so much Kenny bear! You are my whole life. Me
and your daddy are constantly talking about you. Praying for you, and thinking
of you. I can't wait to see what kind of person you grow up to be. I know as
you make right choices, you will become a wonderful spiritual giant who does
amazing things.
Xoxo
Mom
