Dear Max,
This morning as I sat next to you eating your cereal I looked over and knew I needed to capture that moment. It represented so many things to me and I am so glad I now have this picture for my own memory.
Oh how I love this stage you are in. You try to sound out any word and you are starting to put words together. You have the sweetest little voice! Big sis is helping you with your words and she can decipher them better than me sometimes. You love sword and cars. Right now it's mostly cars. Our window sills and tables have become your favorite roadways. I love that McQueen and Mater have become your favorites and I can hardly tear them from your cute little fingers- unless it's meal time in which they always dine with us on the table. Even when going to bed at night they go with you :) I love that you are still attached to your "nigh-night" and it is never far from you. I love when you pick it up and put it close to your mouth making that noise you have always done and come up to me ready to snuggle at random times during the day. You are such a snuggle bug! Milk is another favorite. You would drink milk all day every day if I would let you and you can hardly breathe in the mornings until you get your milk.
I could go on and on- I love so much about this stage but I mostly wanted to write this letter to remind myself of how good these days are. Too soon Lightning and Mater won't grace us for every meal, your "nigh-night" will be safely tucked away in a closet and your snuggles will turn into quick hugs.
So for now I will keep imitating car noises to my best effort, I'll find joy and smile at having to wash your blanket so often because it has been dragged everywhere and I will put everything aside when you are ready to snuggle and just memorize your sweet features.
I love you, son. You make me so happy.
Love, mom
