it's the first of the month (not really, sorry, i'm writing this late), which means it's time for the Letters to the Littles. i'm trying to write a letter to my kids once a month, it's a great exercise, and one i hope you will do to. just remember, what you say on the Internet is there. forever. so don't say something that you're going to regret later. be smart about it, ok?
Dear Princess,
13. officially a teenager. the crazyness of school, and boys, and hormones.... yep. 13. i know we've had most of the major 'talks' (period, body image, birth control), and that things are changing and happening for you faster and in ways that you never imagined. your dad and i try to respect your privacy, but it would be nice if you'd come out of your room every once in a while ;) being a teenager is a crazy time. trust me i know, i was one a while ago (we're not going to talk about HOW long ago...) but remember, i'm here for you to talk to when ever you need it. even when you're at your bio-mom's house, all you have to do is call or send a text. i will always answer you.
Dear Bubby,
this month has been crazy-cakes. you and i are both adjusting to daddy's new work schedule (we're getting a pretty sweet deal you and me...the WHOLE bed to ourselves!!!) (with no added snoring!), there has been more often than not sleeping through the night, and your vocabulary has probably doubled. i love that you're more 'kissy' than you have been in past months. i love me some baby kisses. you're new favorite words are 'train' and 'careful'. i posted pictures on my blog a few days ago about co-sleeping with you. i hope when you're older you don't mind. but people need to remember that co-sleeping is safe as long as it's done correctly, and those pictures show that. it helps that there adorable...
To Both of You,
i love you. so very much.
Mommy
