Can I still call you that? You are growing up every day. Bittersweet as I balance being proud and in awe of you, while trying to hold on to you as tight as I can. You're little sister will be here in a couple of months. Many things will change, I won't pretend they aren't. But you will always be a treasure and pleasure rooted deep in my heart. I love you to the stars and back; that will NEVER change.
Here are some things I know may change but I don't want to forget...
The way you say "tubig-de" for tubig. We don't know why (and we should correct you more) but its way too cute.
Sometimes at night you hold my hand as you fall asleep. How do I ever let go??
You love the pool, the ocean, and your bath. If there is a puddle, you will stomp in it. If there is a fountain, you will wish you were in it. I love your love for water!
You're building your golf skills and I'm curious to see where it may take you in the future.
You are an eager helper, all day every day. I'm so impressed with your awareness of others and even how you take initiative to do chores on your own.
Oh son, there's so much more. Every day with you is a blessing. I'm sorry I'm not always patient or understanding of your moods or actions. I pray you will always remember through it all that I love you fully and unconditionally.
Love,
Mommy
