I love you because . . .

When I go up at night to brush my teeth, I have to search all over the place for my toothbrush. Because you love it and carry it around all morning while we get ready. I've found it in my bed, on the floor by the trashcan, in drawers, or behind the television. I almost look forward to the search each night.

When you first wake up in the morning, you are a pure mama's boy. We snuggle while you drink your milk and then we read a book or two and snuggle some more. You love being cuddled up with your blanket and giraffe.

When we ride down the road, you talk about things you see and get so excited about finding the cows as we pull into the driveway.

When we watch Elmo videos on my phone, you sit so still and smile at the silly songs they sing.

When I pick you up from Mimi's or Donna's, you greet me with the biggest smile I've ever seen. And it melts my heart.

At night before bed, you bring me your books to read and always back up and sit down in my lap. You know there's a lap there for you to sit in and you won't read any other way.

After dinner, you get your giraffe and sit by the door to go down for tub-tub. As we walk downstairs, you are in such a hurry to get in the tub and runnnnnnnn into the bathroom as fast as you can.

You listen so well when we tell you no and redirect you. Most of the time. :) It melts my heart even more that you get very upset when we have to fuss at you and you immediately hug us and want to snuggle.

You have learned so many words lately: empty, dishes, cookie, tie, leash, let's see, sit, truck, MAMA.

When you and daddy play together, I watch and think how absolutely blessed I am to have two handsome men in my life.

When you go to bed at night and the house is quiet, I sometimes want to go wake you up so we can play more. You are simply contagious.

When we sit down to eat, you bring your little hands together reminding us to say the blessing. As we bow our heads, you just grin.

When I'm trying to settle you down for the night by rocking with you, you look at me with those big brown eyes. That soft, clean little face, and those little red lips. I wonder how daddy and I made something so beautiful.

I could go on and on, Little Webb. You are the absolute light of my life and you make every day on this Earth worth living. I wish I could bottle you up and keep you like this forever. I love you to the moon and back a zillion times.


Much Love Always,
Mama
