I wanted to let you know about the special things you bring to my life, and the special memories I’ll take away from this time we’ve had together.
I love —
- The way you scrunch up your face and grit your teeth together when you’re being ‘pretend mean’.
- Your impish smile, especially when you’re doing something impish.
- How when wisps of your hair blow in your face, you unthinkingly brush it away from your eyes with the back of your hands.
- Your intensity when you find something interesting on the ground to squat and look at.
- When your little hand slips into mine when you know we have to cross the street. I never, ever, ever want that to end.
- When you say “Thank you, Mommi” in your clipped, polite voice, especially when you haven’t been reminded.
- When you look at my mosquito bite “ow-ies” and carefully put band-aids on them with all the patience and concern of an OR nurse.
- Unexpected hugs, and expected ones too.
- How you sleep, arms and legs spread everywhere, no blankets, and your sweet little mouth just barely open; and then you 'shout' instructions to your daddy while in a dream.
- How you say, “It’s OK, Mommi” if you think I’m upset.
- Your nap-times when you ask to go to sleep and fall asleep right away (these are rare events indeed).
- Your tousled head when you wake up.
- How you laugh and tell me to “stop it” when I tickle you, then laughingly beg for more when I stop.
- Your head lolling about when you fall asleep in the car.
- Every time you say, “I love you, Mommi”, “I miss you, Mommi”.
Will all my love,
Mommi
