Of Course You Can!

Dear LittleDude,

This is the conversation we just had.


LittleDude (climbing into my lap with book): "Read, Mama?" (By the way, the book was your favorite: "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo")

Me: "Only for a kiss."

LittleDude (giving me a kiss): "I love you."

Me: "I love you too, LittleDude. Can I keep you forever?"

LittleDude: "Nope. I keep YOU forever."


I love you.
Love, Mommy

You Did It!

Dear LittleDude,

After weeks of trying, you finally pee-pee'd in the big boy potty today!

I love you.
Love, Mommy

Sleeping LittleDude or Ninja

Dear LittleDude,

Now that you've been down for your nap for an hour and a half, I think you might be asleep. Either that, or you've turned into a ninja. It's kind of hard to tell considering that you turned off your sound machine and monitor before removing your doorknob cover to break out of your room and then turned off your sound machine and monitor again once I put you back into bed. All this because I wouldn't let you sleep with your new fish tank in your bed.

I love you.
Love, Mommy

Be Very Quiet... I'm Hunting Noodles

Dear LittleDude,

Thank you for teaching me that if you are unusually quiet while I am in the bathroom, you are probably digging last night's left-over lo mein out of the fridge. A new, more complex lock is now on my shopping list.

I love you.
Love, Mommy
