dear emmie,

wasn’t that just so fun?

you staying up into the wee hours on christmas morning…knitting away on that sweet little cap for eian…

him tearing open the wrapand just loving it right away!

him wanting so badly to just put it right on!

him just begging, “please, mama, please…may i wear my new cap!?!”

him wanting to just wear it and wear it all the rest of that day!

him just positively loving that sweet little cap you made for him!

that truly was just the very most fun!

very sincerely,
me (your always-so-grateful-you-gift-with-your-gifting mama)

dear 40,

it seems rather unfortunate, really…

that my body should more and more act like you…

while my face ever-still insists on acting like a teenager!

very sincerely,
me

dear belly, bat wings and bum…but mostly belly,

i want that when i say “no, thank you” to something lovely-delicious with “this-so-many” calories, you three congratulate me by immediately divvying up those-so-many calories (with the lion’s share going to you, belly) and just-like-that burning them all up.

that’s what i want

very sincerely,
me

oh yeah, baby!

we’re startin’ this new year off with a bang!

i suppose it’s obvious by now that we take this “sleepy head” thing very seriously around here!  (well…some of us, anyway!)  all of our children have been “naturals” (despite being “folically challenged”) at mastering the “sleepy head”…with honorable mentions going out to hannah and bits.

but jack…jack is absolutely amazing…a step above the rest…a veritable “sleepy head” phenom!

i mean…look at that form!  the exquisite composition!
the perfect balance of frizz and fly-away-ed-ness!

not too heavy on one side or the other…it’s
breathtaking…simply breathtaking!

why, to give you the “rear view” would be just plain showin’ off!

i would, however, like to take the liberty of reminding my
dear reader that he is only 2…and pointing out that all of this
magnificent “sleepy headedness” was achieved during an
ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill…nap!  hello!!!  oh, what
magnificence would another eight hours have produced?!?

(i’m so proud!)

okay, but now, after having so shamelessly paraded my dear children’s talents before you (yet again), i must admit that i can’t take credit for any of it.  this incredible talent certainly wasn’t passed down from my side of the family!  no, i must give credit where credit is due…

their daddy’s “sleepy head” would…knock…your…socks…off!!!
