Almost there

Dear Parker,

It is finally ALMOST Christmas.  You are so excited that you are constantly hyper and getting up at like 6am every morning.  Today was my last day of school before break and I'm so glad to finally be at home with you.  We had a fun night playing and being goofy.  You helped me wrap Mom's stocking stuffers and told these funny stories about Cruder (an imaginary friend of yours) playing his trombone too loudly and trying to keep said trombone on his nightstand.  You were not happy with this.  We sang Christmas songs and danced and took a walk around the neighborhood in your wagon to look at lights.  After we got home, you and your Mom made some cookies.  It was a really nice night - even if you did drive me a little nutso with all your energy.  I hope that we can have a calm, family day tomorrow to gear up for what will, I'm sure, be an energetic 5 days.

I love you so much.  I can't believe this is your 4th Christmas.  You are too old, but I love you more every day.

Merry ALMOST Christmas.
Love,
Mommy

Music Program!

Dear Parker,

Tonight was a BIG night (for me at least).  It was your very first music program.  Now, I know that you are only 3 years old and none of it was taught by a real music teacher, but it was still a program and you still sang! :)  I was really proud of you.  You were excited to go with your teacher, you were very excited to sing and you were one of only 2 or 3 kids who actually sang the words.  Most of the other kids just sort of stood there, but you were actually singing.  You were adorable in your little Christmas dress and you were so excited.

As a side note, I haven't been a very good Mommy to you lately.  I don't really want to get into, but I want you to know that I love you more than anything else on this entire planet and that I'm working to get better.

I love you cutie pie.  Christmas is in just 10 days!  I'm so excited.

Mommy
