Dear Bently,

Since Daddy is working full time and going to school we have been spending lots of time together! Lots of mommy and Bently time. Something that never happened very much in the past. I love it! I love spending time just us two bonding! We go to the park and run errands and I let you get into lots more trouble then Daddy did! We have dance parties and watch your favorite TV show the backyardigans. You love it! You hear the theme music start playing and you laugh and clap your hands. Adorable! We read book after book. You love to read books! We take walks to the trash and talk about cars. We spend hours playing with the alphabet refrigerator magnets. You have recently become obsessed with letters! Every where we go you point out letters to me! You now recognize H and M almost all the time. You are so proud of yourself when you can recognize a letter! It's adorable!
It's hard to watch you grow up but it's also so fun watching you want to be more independent. Today I was feeding you when you grabbed the fork from me and didn't want to give it back. Things like that tell me how much bigger my little boy is getting. You now want to do things for yourself. I snuck home for a second on my break tonight. I just needed to see you. I slowly opened the door and crept over to your crib. There you were. Spread out with your baby hair all a mess. As I watched you sleep I suddenly realized, you are not a baby. Not even a littel. I kept telling myself you were turning into a toddler. Little did I realize it has already arrived. You are a toddler. You are the big kid now! You don't have to walk holding onto my hands and you can feed yourself and you know what I mean when I ask you to go get your shoes. I can't believe my little baby is so big. I can't believe how fast it has all gone. I can't believe what joy and love you have brought into my life. More than I ever thought possible! Being your mom is the very best job in the world!!! :) I seriously love it! I can't wait till I can do it 24 hours a day 7 days a week!
Little man I hope you always realize how much I love you! I hope you always feel it. No matter where you go in life or how far away we might be from each other I will never stop loving you ever! Thank you for choosing our family to come to! Thank you for changing my life and making me happy every single day!
I love you always!
Mom
