Just a quick note

Dearest Morgen --

I just wanted to take a quick moment to tell you how proud I am of you.  You are learning more and more every day and growing up into such a nice little person.

Here are just a few things which I adore:

  • You sing "Happy Birthday" to everything.  Seriously.  Happy Birthday to ladybug cake.  Happy Birthday to finger paint.  Happy Birthday to mommy and daddy and Morgen.  And, my favorite, Happy Birthday to Play-Doh!
  • You climb all around the car when we get home from school.  I back the car into the driveway and then roll all the windows down so you can lean out each one and say "I don't see mailman."
  • Your love of your "new purple croc-a-lockas."
  • Your love of music and dancing and that you are now starting to request the "shoop!" song (The Beatles "Come Together") instead of only "Opa Gangnam Style."
  • Your excitement every morning about going to "Mo's new school."  And I have to admit, I adore that you don't want me to leave when we get there.  I don't like seeing you upset when I leave for work, but I do like the cuddles before I go and that huge smile on your face when I arrive to pick you up in the afternoons.  (I'm just as happy to see you honey!)
  • The way you say "Here you go mommy!" when you hand me something.
  • That you love baths, but love them even more if daddy or I join you in the tub (even if just our feet).
  • That you still prefer to sleep cuddled up with me every night.  You are so peaceful when you sleep and I cannot help but marvel at the little person curled up next to me.
  • That bouncing with daddy on the big blue ball is one of your favorite games.  Your laughter when you play with your daddy is one of the best sounds I have ever heard.
I'm sure I'm forgetting things.  As I write this I'm getting ready to pick you up.  I know you won't want to leave right away, so we will play on the slides or the teeter-totter.  It's going to be lots of fun.

I love you...mommy.
