As of last week, Turner has finally started reading this blog on a semi-regular basis. On Monday, he read my "Love, Mom" letter, and decided to write a letter to Monkey himself. So here it is! Enjoy.
My dear sweet Monkey boy,
I want to share with you my treasures.
I treasure play time together, rolling and giggling on the floor.
I treasure each smile. The feelings I get each time I walk through the front door or walk into the room and find you there smiling up at me are really quite amazing and indescribable.
I treasure your kisses and hugs. At 18 months old you already understand that kisses mean "I love you!"
You are sweet and generous with your love as your mother & I endeavor to teach you and love you every day.
Mommy gets more hugs than I do, but that makes each one I get that much more special.
I treasure cuddle time when we sit and watch your favorite movies, "The Incredibles", "Cars", & "Happy Feet."
I treasure our conversations as you chatter away the day. I have no idea what you are talking about but know that I treasure every word, and long for the day when I can listen & understand every thought of your heart.
I treasure Mommy. She is so wonderful & does so much for us. We would be lost without her. Please tell her that you love her and remember to say "thank you" every chance you get.
I treasure you. It was impossible to imagine having a child of my own. I was so frightened when I first found out you were coming. Now I cannot imagine life without my little Monkey boy.
Silver, gold and jewels so grand
Can never compare to the touch of my sweet child's hand.
Thank you for loving Mommy & I. We will always be here for you.
Love,
Daddy
