Dear Bently,

Not all things about motherhood come naturally to me. In fact practically nothing does. I have to learn most everything and work at it to become good. It's alright because you're worth it! Playing games with a 2 year old boy is one of those things that sure didn't come natural to me. I grew up with sisters and I sure do know how to play girly games. Learning how to rough house and play cars is a little different. But these past couple weeks I made a goal to play with you more. I hate to admit it but all too often I find me doing my thing and you doing your thing. I decided it had to come to an end. So we've been playing, singing, reading books, doing puzzles, and watching your favorite movies together. Now I'm not perfect at it. But I have been improving and so has our relationship. You have become a mommy's boy! I love it! You always want to be with me. When I'm sleeping in the day (because I'm back working graveyards, yuck!) you ask to wake me up. We have quickly become best friends! I have loved feeling closer to you! I love that you want to be with me just as much as I want to be with you! Thank you for these past couple weeks! We have had so much fun together and I love you more than anything in the world!
Love,
Mom
