Dear my BEAUTIFUL son Nicholas,
Lets start with you were selt motivated to potty train! I
have been encouraging you for a quite a
few months now with little luck, until a couple weeks before thanksgiving you
just got it. Like, you have been doing it your whole life. You havent gone pee in
your diaper (even at night!) for a while, and you tell me all the time when you
need go. You transitioned perfectly to big boy underwear, although you are
still “scared” to poop in the potty. And you don’t want to go at daycare
yet. But I know it will just click in
there, too. Just like everything does
for you. You move through life with cautious optimism. You always like
to stick your toe in the water first before you jump, and that is your
trademark. And quite frankly, that is JUST fine! You are measured and aware of yourself and
your surroundings, in all honesty this makes you wise and more mature than most
your age. Even last night when we went
to see Santa with the neighborhood kids, you didn’t want to sit on his lap because
he seemed a little too scary for you. Even if I told you he was nice, and
Adrianna offered to hold your hand, you did NOT want to. I even sat on his lap
with Mrs. Putnick and Mrs. Fierrer. But as we were walking out you didn’t get
to say bye to santa so we rushed back in, you waited your turn (and told me “
he is not scary, and he is not a monster” and sat right down. Then proceeded to
tell him you wanted candy and French toast for Christmas. God love you. Oh ya,
and while we walked to the car you wanted a hug from him.
One thing about you that I LOVE is you want to please. You
WANT to be a good boy, and you hate it when I tell you did something bad. You are
quick to correct to tell me you are a good boy. You always want to help, you
love to feel useful and I love it more than anything when we do things
together. You help with the laundy, the dishes, cooking dinner, cleaning up
toys, washing bottles, everything. You
are also getting quite independent too. Can brush your teeth on your own, get
undressed by yourself, take off your shoes, open and shut the car and climb in,
and I know there is more—and way too often you will get mad at us for trying to
help you do things you can do on your own. You use of language if impeccable,
too. YOu still carry a tune with you as you go around, and now
that it is Christmas you have a whole slew of songs you sing now. I admire your love for music, sometimes you
will ask to wait in the car until a song is over, or turn up the volume so you
can hear something, I will catch you sitting in the office next to the old CD
player we have in there just listening
to one of your Baby Genius or Mickey
CDs. It’s rubbed off on your brother because he is a DANCER!
You still REALLY love Mickey (and BOB!) boy you would do
almost anything for him. You love to
play ball, trains, and dance till the sun comes up. You have always loved
reading books and I hope it never gets old. You recognize/know pretty much all
of the letters of the alphabet and can even spells some words now too including
all of our names. Numbers and shapes are
no problem, too. I think you are one smart cookie.
You are sweet and cuddly, and so darn beuaitufl I just stare
at you sometimes in awe. I cannot believe you are mind, I so proud of you and
all that you have become I could burst. I love that you have grown into a relationship
with your little brother, too. You love it when each other is around, and
always ask where he is when you don’t see
him. I catch you guys running and chasing each other, too and laughing. The
sound of your footsteps and laughter around the house is the best thing in the
whole world. I know I will miss these days when you get older, I am trying to
savor all that you are and everything that makes you, you. I cant
for Christmas with you both, and then we get to go on a cruise right
after and you are SO excited. You ask every day now if you can go on a cruise
ship. And then you truck your mickey bag around with you ready to get it
packed. I hope it’s a wonderful time, and I cant wait for some warm weather. I
cant wait for all that is in store for us in 2015 We closed our your two years with an awesome golden
birthday party for you, over 40 people came to our house and you got TONS of
toys. You are one loved little boy. And
it’s true, We love you more than
anything, Nick. Keep being you, it is
JUST PERFECT.
Mommy
