| Daddy Kisses! |
If I could bottle up your laughter and wear it around my neck for an eternity, I would. Sometimes if I am having a bad day, I will give you a little tickle just so I can hear that beautiful sound. You truly bring joy to my life and I feel so lucky to be your mother. There are times when I feel like you are growing up way to quickly and I am in shock that your first birthday is not that far away.
After I had you I tried different work schedules so that I could find the right balance between being with you and fulfilling my professional duties. I finally found that four, ten hour days worked the best for us. This means that by the time you get up at 6am I am hopping in the shower getting ready to leave for work, I give you a quick kiss on the forehead and I am off for the day. After work I pick you up at 6pm from daycare and we drive home. By the time we walk through the door it is time to feed you, cook Mommy and Daddy's dinner, unpack the bags, bath time, bottle and bed. I sometimes don't even feel like I have time to breath let alone enjoy you, but then Friday rolls around and we start to slow down. We spend the morning running errands and going grocery shopping, it is just you and I.
On weekends when you Daddy has to work, I get you all to myself! And this was one of those weekends, we had a blast. We went to the farmers market and the library, we went swimming and on a walk with Annie, you even sat in your little fishy swim pool and played for a little while. I love spending time with you and I know that you love being with me too. Sunday night always comes around to quick and a part of my heart cringes when I lay you down to sleep. I know that the up coming week will be hard and fly by in a blur, but Friday morning are always right around the corner and that is what I will be looking forward to.
I love you Baby Boy,
Mommy
