My dear, sweet, Grayson~

You amaze me.

Pure and simple.

I find myself getting so emotional lately. You have turned into this captivating, heart-stirring individual in the past few weeks. A little man who says, "Mom" and grabs my hand while walking through the sliding doors, before the thought even enters my mind to grab yours.

A little man who says, "Gras as Momma, I wuv voo" for allowing you to have a frosted cookie from the Target bakery. A little man who craves his Mommy's back scratches and his Daddy's shenanigans. A little man who thinks it's cool to drink icecream through a straw.

We are in awe, son......of you.


Your vocabulary has exploded into a hundred different words and phrases and sentences. You say something new every.single.day. and we just stare at one another, your Daddy and I, and laugh. How did we get here?

Here.

The place where our son grabs our hands in a crowded Mexican restaurant and bows his head to say Grace. Amazing.

It is extremely rewarding for us to see how far you have come in 26 months. From a helpless newborn who needed us for everything, to a willful one year old who needed to do everything himself, to this. An enthralling two year old.

We have found our balance. We've figured one another out, I believe.

You get me and I get you. And this is my most favorite time. Right here. Today.

Sure, I miss our co-sleeping days when all I needed was to nurse you and all was right with the world......oh, how I truly miss those days. And sure I daydream about swaddling you like a baby burrito and staring at your sweet little peach fuzzy head.......but look at you now! I love your hair......I love that we can walk from our car to your Sunday School class and get no less than 5 compliments on your beautiful hair. I love the way that your crooked little teeth are just perfect in your crooked little smile. I love that you can say, "Mamma look, I tee-tee on tha potty....yay....yummy yums".....that's right, angel, you did go tee-tee and now you get an M&M and Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you!


I get it now.

This is who I am supposed to be and I've never been more content than right here. Right now.

I am so incredibly blessed to be your Mommy and to be your Daddy's wife. And though your little life is far from completion, you are my most amazing accomplishment.

~Love Mommy
