Letter to CB on his 9th birthday

Sweet CB

You are one sweet, tenacious child.   Each day you are filled with wonder, amazement and smiles.  Your mood changes with the wind and always ends in a smile, hug and an, I love you.  Your forehead kisses makes this mama happy and I dread the day when you stop giving them to me or when you stop giving me the heart sign as you walk into school. I already miss your toddler years which somehow are very far behind us. 

Your love for life, family and BFF, I wish I could bottle.   You wake up talking and talk until you fall asleep.  Your French is getting better and I love hearing you speak it.  You still love A but no longer think you will marry her. 

MineCraft is your favorite game and love it when I play with you.  You build me houses in the sky and homesteads.  You are patient with me as I navigate playing with you. Daily, sometimes multiple times you tell me you love me and that I am the best mom you know.  I cherish these moments. 

You still snuggle nightly and love your kitties.  Our new puppy is your best friend. Watching up you two play brings me so much joy.  So does watching how much you have grown into a strong bravery boy who stands up for himself. You love your friends and family hard.   You are a straight shooter and love to make others smile. You love to help others and will give your last dollar to help someone else out. 

I hope you keep your sweet, genuine, curious, loyal, loving, giving spirit. You make me proud to be your mama. You sweet alleycat, love you to the moon and back.  Always & forever.

Love always,

Mama

I’m a tryant

I’m a tryant!  There I said it! I am. I mean I am sweet about it but I do demand the best.  My mama always makes me my fave hazelnut chocolate sandwiches. I take them frozen.  

I also make sandwich eggs!   Yep at 5 I get to make sandwich eggs in mamas little sandwich griller thingy!  It’s so cool!  I scramble 1 egg, pour it in, then pour it in, close the lid, and presto! I have two little eggs that look like sandwiches!  Sandwich eggs!   See clever!

I’m a clever boy!   I finally stopped pooping my pants (well most of the time).  I can count to 1000 which makes my teacher happy.  I like making her happy. She’s sweet. I love her.  

I also stopped saying ‘me’ love her. 

I love the color yellow with blue a close 2nd 

I love miss S. She’s my fave person.  She loves kitties like I do. Plus she’s sweet to me. 

I love my mama. She’s the best!  She’s very sweet!  She snuggles me even when I’m grumpy. I’m grumpy a lot. I don’t like not getting my way.  No way Jose! She also takes care of me when I fall, bleed, step on glass etc. I also have a mean brother who likes to wrestle and beat the crap out of me. He stinks. I told mama her and I should go away together. We could  leave bubba and daddy home!  They mean we nice 

Okay time to play!  

Peace out

Me in VPK

I’m in VPK. Now.  I love going to school.  I ride a bus with my brother and have the best teachers. My teacher is my bus driver!  We love our school!  

My fave color is still blue. Brother changed his to light green.. not me. Me consistent. Mama says me a wild child but a rule follower. Me does follow the rules. Me get a star every day.   Me good. 

Me made friends.  Me love playing puppet show and kitchen.  Today Me was the dog while my friends cooked for me.  Me even nap all by myself. It’s so awesome.  But at home Me snuggle my mama!  She’s the best even if I do make her cry sometimes.  

Today she cries after Me pooped in my pants twice.   I’ve done so good lately but yesterday Me ate a super super duper super duper duper duper hot hot hot hot spicy hot hot hot pepper.  Well both me and my bother did. He didn’t cry & Me didn’t last time when mama and Me tried it but this time it was hot and me didn’t have mamas shirt to lick and it hurt my belly so today Me pooped my pants while eating and while laying on the freshly out of the dryer made bed.  Which caused mama to cry. She boo boo cried so I cried and cried and she cried while hugging me saying she was sorry but Me the one who pooped my pants so me cried because Me was sorry too!  It was a day  a very good day with a poopy endish. Me get to snuggle mama now in another clean bed. 

Tomorrow a new one!    Next time I won’t try the hot pepper.  Daddy’s jokes are mean.  

So it’s snuggle time until bubba gets home and then we get to do it over tomorrow.  Me can’t wait to go to school! Me love school and me loveee me new hair cut. Me love mama and daddy and bubba and well everyone!
