Is it truly summer without a fair? The smells of corn dogs the taste of lemonade, the sticky cotton candy all of these things to me are the simple reason why I love going to fairs.

4th of July
The definition of 4th of July is America declaring it independence from the Kingdom of Great Brittan.
Today we celebrate our independence with parades, BBQ and family and fireworks.

Dear Aj,
I have no idea where the time has gone. You are growing up before my very eyes, if feel as I leave in the morning for work and by the time I pick you up from school you have completly changed. Your jumps get higher, your vocabulary grows and you somehow even look older too. If I watch you very carefully, I can see the changes happening. I can see you playing with new words, rolling them around on your tounge and saying them out loud. I watch you figuring out how toys work and seeing what they are meant to do. But late at night when I go in and give you a kiss I see my little baby. I brush the curls off your forehead, or place your tiny hand in mine and I am reminded you are still new to this world. I enjoy watching you grow, but I know one day faster than I will want you will be off to college. Until then, I will enjoy my moment with you.
Love you,
Mommy
P.S.
You have been upgraded from a crib to a toddlar bed. Last week you decided that going to bed without a bottle was not an option and fell out of bed. That is right, you fell and landed smack on your head. You were fine, but the railing to your crib was removed right away. It took a couple of night for you to get used to your new bed, but now I think you prefer it. I actually get to crawl in and read you your bed time story.

Fathers Day
Father's Day is the day we get to say Thank you to the men in our life who are our role models, kiss up when we scrape our knees and give us the words of confident when we are down.
Aj has a wonderful Father and an amazing Grandfather.
We are so very lucky

Have I told you that I loved you recently? Have I told you that I would love you no mater what? Well it is true! I love you more than I ever thought possible, I don't feel whole without you by my side. Even when you're fussy and act as if the world is ending with every mention of the word "No" I still always love you. At this stage, everything is the end of the word. It only makes sense, since you're learning more about what is around you and we have raised you to have some independence. I have to tell you though that as much as I like you to be independent and to explore the world, sometimes dinner needs to be started. You're not being a bad boy by breaking down, you just have not learned the rule of the world. I hope that I teach you the right skills, I am trying very hard to look at it from you perspective and to show you some tools to deal with your emotions when you don't get your way. I know that I will make mistakes and not be a perfect mom, but it is not from a lack of trying.
I do love you very much,
Mommy
