A Letter to my Son

My Dearest Kaelin,

        A year ago today, I was pushing you out of me.  You did not give me much trouble either.  The nurses wanted me to take some practice pushes, and with two pushes..the very top of your head was working its way out.  More than likely, you would have been born on November 29^th, around 11:55 if we did not have to wait twenty minutes for the doctor.  I remember everything about that day, like it was yesterday.  I waited ten long months to meet you.  The ten months, felt like ten years.  The day you finally graced me with your presence, was one of the happiest days in my life.  You brought me so much joy, and that joy continues each and everyday I see you.  It amazes me how fast this year has flown by, but the ten months I waited for you, seemed so slow. 

 Kaelin, you are such a handsome little boy.  So handsome, people often say cute.  OH, and I am not just saying this because you are my son!  I am saying this because everyone I meet always says the exact same thing.  Since you were born, I always believed you were a great mix of your father, and I.  Now that you are 1, you are at the age most of your features show, and I still believe you look like us both.  However, your father and I are always told you look more like me 85% of the time.  You definitely have your mother’s apple head shape, your father’s lips, and the shape of your mother’s eyes, your father’s eyelid’s, and your mother’s chin.  By your next birthday or so, you will grow into your nose, and we will be able to see whose nose you truly have.

You are such a busy boy, full of energy, and never like to sit still.  No matter what you do, you always put a smile on my face.  Even at times you are doing something wrong, I still cannot help but laugh.  Mainly because you get this look on your face that you know you should not be doing what you are doing, and as soon as I say, “no, or stop it,” you smile at me, and stop.Every morning I am thrilled to wake up and see what the day will bring with you.  Now that you are older, you stay awake more, talk more, and move around more.  Days with you, are so much fun.  God has truly blessed me with an amazing son, and I love you more than words can describe!

                                  I will love you always and forever,

                                                                      Love, Your Mama <3
