Today

Dear Parker,

Today was so amazing.  Your mom had a conference until around 4 and you and I cleaned up the house.  Well, I cleaned and you got out all your toys and strewed them everywhere.  But, you were very cute and well behaved.  You read books to yourself for at least 30 minutes.  You were great.

Mom came home and you played with her for awhile.  You wanted to play doctor so you made her lie in the in the bed and you came back with your doctor kit and white coat.  You even made sure you had a notebook and pen to write down "important things."  You were very cute.

Then, we were going to run over and get some dinner.  When we got there we discovered that the Hamilton Towne Center was having a giant fair thing including the arrival of Santa.  You were SO excited.  There were carolers and you loved listening to them.  We walked around and picked up the free glo necklace and balloon, ate some dinner, got some candy and then waited for Santa.  You were unbelievably excited.  I actually almost cried because you were so happy.  There were supposed to be fireworks afterward.   We waited around for quite awhile, but then decided we needed to go home. You were pretty bummed. We got home took a quick bath and as we were getting your pj's on, they started!  We could see them from our porch, so we threw a blanket around you and ran outside to watch.  It was a great way to end the night.

I'm looking forward to the holidays with you.  You are so full of wonder and belief.

I love you more than you will ever understand.
Love,
Mommy
