Thank You
Dear Son,
The pajamas you gave me for my birthday are lovely. However did you know just the kind I like!? Your grandmother said you picked out my card all by yourself as well.
She asked if I knew why you chose that one. I told her no, and she said - "because it has a ladybug on it."
Of course.
I love you. Thank you for making my past three birthdays the best of my life.

Shortcomings
Dear Son,
Today I failed you a little bit. Perhaps more than that. I wasn't as patient as I should be with a two year old. Actually, age shouldn't even be a factor. I wasn't as patient as I should be with you - at any age. Period. I won't go into the reasons or try to explain - for there are no worthy explanations or excuses.
Today I raised my voice. For that I am eternally sorry. I never thought I'd be 'that mom' - but today I was. I promise to pray for more grace and for more of that . . . that 'it' thing that separates 'just ok' moms - from moms that all little boys wish they had. I forever want to be in the latter category.
Tonight - you showed me the magnitude of your forgiveness and unconditional love when you said to me:
'You need to close computer Mommy . . . Want to dance with Luca?'
And so, we danced.
I love you.
And I promise you - the very next time my patience feels thin . . .
I will remember that I am the luckiest person in the world.

Happy [late] Halloween!
Dear Son,
This year for Halloween you picked a frog costume. You were beyond adorable saying "trick or treat, ribbit ribbit," although you said it a lot more in the car than to the people giving you candy. You also 'helped' me bake a ghost cake. :)
I love you,
Mom
