special


I just wanted to let you know that you are special.

Don't ever think you're not important. We all have a plan. Heavenly Father sent each of us here for a purpose. Yours is unique to you. You are a valiant son of God. You chose to come to this earth and stay with us during this life.

I'm just learning how to be a mother. I see a light turn on in your little head each time I speak to you. I am always surprised to see your listening eyes when I talk. It's amazing that at such a young age you comprehend everything that I say.

You can't talk much yet. You say Dada, Papa, Yeah, Dog, Momma, and sign airplane. Though you don't say a whole lot, you know exactly what I say. I ask you if you want to take a bath and you RUN (not walk) to the bathroom, tugging on your clothes the whole way. It's so fun to see you read books. You put your clothes away in the hamper every time I change you. I ask you if you're hungry and you run to your highchair saying, "yeah" (which is more like a grunting sound). You also march right over to the fridge every time you want a drink. You LOVE to be outside. You got tired of me telling you not to go outside without shoes, so you figured out where your shoes are and bring them to me when you want to go out. You have also figured out how to open the screen door. If it's not locked, you are GONE. Usually visiting the dog, Tuxedo next door. We keep the screen door locked due to this recent discovery.

I hope that I can be a light and example to you throughout your life and continue to teach you the things that I know. There are many things in life that you will accomplish that others may not. I hope that you can have the desire to do what is right and integrity to stand up for what you believe in.

I hope that you will have a sure confidence that you are loved. Never doubt that.

You are unique, important and special. Don't forget it.

hugs & kisses,
"mommy"
