Dear Samuel, Month 31

Dear Samuel,

You are all boy in many aspects. You absolutely love any and all balls -it wasn't a coincidence that your first word was ball. You love to run and be destructive and build things. However, you also have a very sweet side. You have to kiss the whole household before every nap and each night before bed. Beren, the cat, is even included!


I absolutely love our evening bedtime routine! It's mostly just you & me since daddy is at work. After we read a few books you love to pray.  You always say the "Dear God" part and I finish. If I don't say everyone's  name (mommy, daddy, Samuel, Olivia & Beren) then I have to startall  over.  Just this week you started saying "sweet dreams mommy".  And then last night you surprised both daddy & I at dinner. You had already left the dinner table and were on the couch. You leaned over the couch and said out of the blue, "love you mommy & daddy".  My heart melted. Never before had you said this without us saying we love you first.

In spite of all of your boy tendencies (which I love), you have such a sweet spirit of love, gentleness & kindness. May these characteristics always be a part of you.

I love you,
Mommy
