Dear Bently,

You have started this adorable thing where you say "ok" all the time. I don't know why but it is seriously stinking cute! "Bently take off you jacket and shoes." "Okay Mom." How you say it just melts my little heart! :)

You Dad and I went shopping for a new mattress today and you had a blast trying out all the bed with us. You just giggled the whole entire time! I loved it! You would say "Oh this is a nice bed!" You were always so enthusiastic! I bet you would have been happy with any of those beds! Thanks for helping us pick it out! ;)

You are so much better with other kids now! It's amazing how much you've changed. I didn't even remember how bad you used to be till today. There you were at McDonalds taking turns and playing so well! I try and make you a play date once a week! It's my goal to help socialize you more and for me to be more brave in talking to other moms. We've played with mostly family so far! You love your cousins and they have started to love you more as you get better at playing with them! :)

You have picked up a horrible habit from me, but it's kind of cute too! You say "Oh my gosh!" all the time. I don't think you quite know what it is suppose to be used for because you say it at the most random times! It's kind of cute because you always exclaim it loudly and hold out the gooosh! ;) I'm pretty sure that's how you've caught me saying it! ;)

Speaking of which, don't judge us too harshly, but your Dad and I don't always have the cleanest language. We try really hard not to say things but sometimes they just come out. The other day soda exploded on your Dad and without thinking he said, "Holy Shi*" I glared him down and not a second later you laugh and say "Dad said holy shi*". I about died! Luckily you forgot it soon enough. Your Dad and I laughed about it later but if you could not swear, we would appreciate it! ;)

I love you Bently Elmer! I hope you always love me even with my shortcomings!

Love,
Mom
