Dear Cailen,

Right now, everytime you hear music
you unabashadly bop up and down and break into sweet, joyful dance, and I watch you, so happy and free, and think there will be a day when you won't do that anymore because it won't be cool. Or manly.

But I hope there will still be that young, free, uninhibited Cailen somewhere in your soul, bopping, swaying, lifting your arms up to that beat....


Right now, you wake up at 5 AM because you hear daddy, and I know you want to see him because it could be your only chance that whole day. And you watch his every move as he eats breakfast. And gets his coat and keys. And right now you cry and say "no, no, no" as he heads to the door. even after he hugs and kisses you a hundred times.

I hope someday you understand that daddy does this every morning for you.

Right now you cry for mommy to stop and hold you as she rushes every morning to get you and herself out the door.

So she can drop you off somewhere else for the whole day.

So she can pick you up at the end of the day so she can have just enough time to get you ready for bed and maybe play for a little bit.

I hope someday you know how this is all for you. So you can have a room, a home. a comfortable life.

And someday, being with mommy and daddy won't be the most important thing to you anymore. And that may be a time when we finally have enough time to spend with you.

So, happy valentine's day to you, my baby bear. We only have this moment together now, and not a second goes by where I'm not aware of that...

Re: Dear Cailen,

Thanks ladies. I am going to write that in his card later. I was watching him this morning swaying and dancing to jack Johnson with DH in front of him, and how into the music he was, and how he started to cry when DH was getting ready to go, and just saw this pure little spirit who acts immediately on his emotions. And how temporary that is..... And how many moments I must miss every day.

Re: Dear Cailen,

Re: Dear Cailen,

That was very sweet. Yes they grow up too damn fast...I am certain that your little man will always know how lucky and loved he is no matter how busy your lives are
