Love Letters To My Children: To My Second Born
My Dearest Baby Man,
You are loved! I knew about you long before anyone else did, and I was so excited for the changes you were going to bring to our family. The moment you were born I was filled with such love, gratitude, and relief like I had never felt before. I have loved watching you grow from a big baby into the big boy you are now.
I love that nothing about you has ever been easy. We must work for the best things in life. I love watching you with your brother. I love how you admire, and look up to him. I hope you boys will always be close to one another, and love and protect each other.
I love your smile! Your sweet, beautiful smile can light up a room, and make anyone feel good. That smile and your dashing good looks touch many people's hearts. Your smile often reminds me that I need to slow down and enjoy these days.
I love how happy you are to help me! You make me so proud. You are such a smart boy, and have understood so much about your world for a long time. I am so excited for the day when we are able to talk about everything. But, I love watching you grow and continually learn more. You are an inspiration!
I am so excited to be giving you a new baby brother or sister. It is going to be so great to watch you become a big brother. I know you will probably not understand at first how much attention our new baby needs. And I know you will have to learn how to share me, and it will be hard for you. But, just know I love you so much my baby man, and no one can ever take your place in my heart.
Hugs and Kisses XOXO
Your Mama
