Well, Hello Sunshine

Dear Scootie (otherwise known as Dawson),
Today is the third day in a row that I have dropped you off from daycare and you haven’t cried. You’ve been going to this WONDERFUL place since 6/1/10. At the end of July I dropped you off on a Friday and you didn’t cry and then we went to the beach for a week and when we came back you started crying again. You’re a smart cookie and you think that crying for literally 60 seconds would make me not leave. Trust me son, some days it’s all I can do to leave you and go to work. I sure do miss you at work during the days, but it does give me a chance to refresh and be super excited to pick you up and spend the rest of the evening with you. You’re so much fun these days. You’ve always been wonderful but in the last 6 months you have learned so much and you honestly learn something new EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. My heart jumps for joy every time I hear a new word or sentence (since you’re putting those together as of the last couple of weeks!!) or color or letter. You’ve got a few colors down and about 3 letters. This is a big deal!! I’m so proud of you. You are so smart and absolutely amazing. Your compassion is just as strong as your Dad’s. If the dog doesn’t have a full bowl of food you must fill it first thing. That’s the first thing you do when we come home. You run and check Simon’s food and water bowl and want them filled up immediately if they don’t meet your strict standards. You’ll tell me “more food” and “more water”. You are super loving. You love to be held and everyday you run up to me and throw your arms around my neck. I think my heart could burst when you do that. Even if I’ve had the worst day, you always know how to make it better. You literally amaze us every day with your wonderfulness. Keeping being you son. My boy with the pretty blue eyes. My heart and soul.
