dear bub,

as i scrubbed those dinner dishes last night, you kept me company for a spell at the bar…watching as our pictures scrolled through on this computer…

then…so proud of you…you said, “let me guess…that’s me.”

and i glanced up from the suds…catching just a glimpse of your daddy before he faded away to black and the next picture slowly appeared…

and i grinned involuntary as those little eyebrows shot up full surprised at my, “nope…that’s your daddy.”

so, today…i went looking…

looking for your daddy and his most bubba face…

just to show you how so-very-much you look like he did…

and just look who i found!

four-year-old him with his baby brother…

…and four-year-old you!

see?

i told you!

two little peas from the very same pod!

two of the sweetest peas there ever was!

very sincerely,
me (your sweet-on-the-both-of-you mama)

dear 20,

it truly doesn’t seem that long ago…

but i was only you when i first held so tight to him…

10-24-12

and i truly tried so hard not to…

but i must’ve blinked

because just two short minutes into this day…my baby…became you!

and i’m just not liking it all that much…

and i just keep having these tears so much of the time

very sincerely,
me

dear little man,

this afternoon, i went looking for you with the video camera…outside
hoping to catch you in the act…

i watched you through the camera’s eye as you pushed yourself up off the ground and started to teeter across the yard…

your little arms thrown wide…your little hands grasping at the air…your little feet stomp, stomp, stomping with every step…

i smiled and suppressed my giggle, trying to hold that camera still…

and i watched as you finally plopped to the ground…pausing reflective for a moment…

and i watched as thomas lumbered over to you…the two of you leaning in close…nose to nose…for ever so long…

and i watched as you suddenly pushed yourself back up…tottling towards me…smiling proud right into that camera…

swaying…step, step…leaning…step…teetering…step, step, step…catching yourself…just…before…falling…

and it was truly just a very…indescribablyonce in a never-again moment

just too wonderful…

until hannah whispered regretful into my ear, “momit’s not on.”

very sincerely,
me
