Love Notes

Dear Bunny,

Yes, you are the most adorable tiny bunny that I have ever seen.  I am very sorry that our devil of a cat chased you out from the flower bed, again, very sorry.  About that flower bed-you are welcome to live there and be adorable, but STOP eating our strawberries.  Our pitiful little plants give us about 8 berries a year and you have nibbled on about 6 so far.  I apologize if you are not the culprit, but I really suspect that you are.

Keep on truckin',

Farmer Mom

Dear Ben,

Thank you so much for being the world's best big brother (except when you are throwing a sippy cup at your brother's head).  You are so patient and kind with your potty-hating brother.  At 4 I'm pretty sure I would not have enjoyed having a small person keeping me company each and every time I went to the bathroom (At 38 I am still not a fan).  I know you don't really want to narrate your business, or get handed toilet paper the whole time, but you really take it in stride.  Letting Nate flush for you is just icing on the cake.

I owe you,

Mommy

Dear Nate,

I believe in you.  I believe in your ability to scream non-stop for close to an hour for no apparent reason.  Really-I know you can do it, you really don't have to prove it to me on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis.  I also know, deep down in my heart, that you are able to throw toys very long distances.  Again, proof is not required.

Love you more than ice cream, but STOP it,

Mama

(thank goodness he is cute)
