A letter to my boy

My handsome boy Grady,

Mommy has wanted to sit down and write you this letter since your first birthday. Boy do you and your sister keep me busy though! But it's a good busy, a happy busy, a busy I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world.

Every day, I am thankful for God's plan. For He is so wise. He knew placing you in Mommy's belly at the time He did was just right. These 19 months have been so full of the joy, laughter, & excitement you have brought into our family. Every day I watch you grow and learn, and become less of a baby and more of a boy. From the first time I held you, to the first time you threw a ball, to the first steps you took, I have felt so very blessed that God chose me to be your momma.

 You are so full of sunshine and all the world knows you are going to be a star! You may not speak with words but you certainly find ways to communicate, and boy can you throw a ball like nobodies business! I have never seen such a tiny boy throw a ball the way you do. With strength and accuracy, it's just incredible!

Oh my sweet mommas boy, I love you so. I look forward to watching you grow into the amazing man I know you will be someday, just like your Daddy. Please feel free to slow that growing on down though, Mommy wants many more years of you to herself!

All my love forever & ever,
Momma

Prince Charming

For months now your sister has been calling you "my Prince". She takes your hands and forces you to twirl and dance with her, sometimes you give in and play the role accordingly, and other times you flee....as fast as your little toddler feet will carry you. It makes my heart so happy to watch my Prince & Princess play so sweetly together, and as you grow I know you will continue to play the role of her prince in many ways. Protecting her from heart breaking boys and name calling girls, I am so glad Ava has you as her brother....our sweet Prince.
