Dear Bently,

Today you were my shopping buddy while Daddy stayed home with Liv. We went to Walmart and Smiths and then got snow cones! I can't even tell you how much I value time with just us. It's few and far between so I know I have to make it count! I asked you tons of questions and listened to your sweet little answers. I loved talking to you about what you saw. We held hands and jumped like crazy people down the aisles and pretended to be frogs together. As we walked out of Walmart I pointed out a BIG truck to you! You told me it was so big it could touch the sky! :) I love listening and getting glimpses into your mind! I love you so much Bently Elmer! I am constantly amazed by how wonderful and perfect you are. I have no idea how I got so lucky to get such a sweet little boy like you! You are adorable and I love you more than I could ever explain to you!

Love,

Mom

Us at the snow cone place!

Dear Bently,

Kid you are too funny. I say this all the time but your speech just is making leaps and bounds. I am always surprised by the things you know how to say. Yesterday you were pretending to be a coo-coo clock and I was like, "how the heck do you know what a coo-coo clock is?!" Today you woke up calmly got out of bed, walked out of the room, walked back in the room, and said "Mama wake up. Turn the dark off!" Which translated means turn the lights on. Hahaha! 


You have began this thing when you make your eyes go as big as possible as you talk. You do it mostly when you get excited or want our attention. It's pretty hilarious! I am trying very hard to catch it on video because it makes me laugh so hard. I hope you never stop doing it! Today you were helping me make waffles and we poured in a cup of milk. You exclaimed with your big eyes, "That's a lot of milk!"


I love you so freaking much! You make me laugh everyday and I love how our relationship is changing now that you can communicate more effectively. It's so fun to get a peak inside what you are thinking! :)


Love,
Mom

Dear Bently,

Your Daddy said you needed me today. I guess you woke up in the middle of the night and asked for me. You wanted your mommy! It made me happy and broke my heart all at the same time. I still count down to the day when I get to be home with you all the time. It may not be in the too near future but I know it's coming! After your Dad told me I just sat there by your bed and watched you sleep. I couldn't believe how incredibly perfect you are! You are one handsome boy! I held your hand and kissed you. :) I am so grateful for quiet moments with you. Even if you don't remember them, it's moments like these I will hold in my heart forever.  I love you handsome man more than you'll ever know!


Love,
Mom
