Dear Bently,

When you were in my tummy I decided to sing to you. Almost every night before we fell asleep your Dad and I would sing a verse from the song, "My Wish" by Rascle Flatts. When you were born you seemed to remember the song. Whenever we sung it you would come straight down and be content. Now that your 18 months old we still incorporate singing to you on a regular basis. Every night before we lay you down we have a tradition that goes like this. I hold you and you lay your head on my shoulder. Daddy then comes up behind me and puts his arms around both of us. I then sing to you a song of my choosing. Either, "My Wish", "I am a Child of God" or "Think of me". It's one of my favorite traditions. I love holding you close when you are tired and snugly. I love feeling your Dad's arms around me and I love the little moment we get to have as a family! It's seriously my favorite moment ever. I look forward to it every night as it approaches bed time. It makes me sad that you won't remember this when it's so important to me. I hope you always know how loved you are! I hope we can continue our little night time tradition for a long time! I love you with my whole heart!
Mom
