... be embarrassed one day for kissing me over and over while you are on the toilet letting a stinky out! :-)
... be very happy about our night time "pretend" snoring that we laugh and laugh about!
... be lucky to have many great grandparents that live either right beside you are within 2 hours of us.
... be glad that we live on land that you can experience things that most kids will never dream of experiencing. "Cows, family, shops, skids steers, barns, dirt, rocks, trees, golf carts, cousins, grandparents"
... be fortunate that we punished you for throwing a tantrum before going up stairs to bed.
... be smart for all the books we read together.
.... be silly for all the tickles you get from everyone that loves you!
... be creative for all the "pretend" play we played together. Mommy is the kid, Sawyer is the mommy and Braxton is the daddy... yep mommy played that one UP!
... be smart for all the times I make you wright your name.
... be glad for all the times you have spent with your grandparents and all the memories you are creating.
... be sensitive for all the times I tell you that "you hurt mommy's feelings" to make you understand that you have to be respectful.
... be funny for all the crazy dances that mommy does to make you laugh.
... be respectful of others for all the spankings you get when you misbehave! I promise one day you will understand.
... be blessed for us introducing you to GOD and Jesus by saying our prayers every night and before every meal.
... be passionate about whatever life presents to you because you are taught to appreciate everything.
... be a go getter because we don't allow the word "CAN'T" in this household.
... be well rounded for all the opportunities that have been presented to you.
You will understand one day how much a parent can love their child, ONE DAY, when you are not pretending that "I" am your child and you have one for your own. You tell me that you love me more then you can imagine, but your imagination is limited at this time... and it will be until you have a child of your own (and please let that child be when you are married and at least in your 20's!). God bless my kids... I love them so much!
