Of Brotherhood

Dear LittleDude,

Today you became a big brother. So far, you seem thoroughly unimpressed with your new baby brother and your new role in our family, but I know you will take to it in no time. The coming weeks, and maybe even months, will be hard. Daddy has to go on the airplane again, Mommy won't be able to give all the attention all the time, and I'm quite sure Squeaky won't be able to play trains the way you want him to -- not yet anyway. But, we will find our way together, as a family, and I know you'll be the best big brother ever, just as you are the best son any mother could ask for. And remember, no matter what, you will always be my baby.

I love you.
Love,
Mommy

Grace!

Dear LittleDude,

Lately, we've been working on routines, and one of the things we're trying to be more diligent about is saying Grace before each meal. However, each time we pause and say, "Okay, Toby, let's say Grace," you pipe up, "Grace!" and immediately start eating. We'll work on it.

I love you.
Love, Mommy
