Dear Jackson aka Monkey,
- Do you know that you only have one name or do you think Monkey, Punkin, Punky, Munkin, JackJack and Jackson are all your names.....sorry mommy and daddy like nickname's!
- Do you REALLY like the taste of dog food? Cause I can't get you to eat anything grown from the earth to save my life but I think left to your own devices you would eat the whole bowl of "daaawg" food.
- Do you think Pablo from Backyardigans name is really "DaDa" cause its not and when you call him that it kinda hurts Daddy's feelings.
- Why do you shake your head no when you want something and when you don't?
- Do you withhold kisses on purpose?
- Is the car seat really that bad that you have to arch your back and scream 50% of the time when I put you in it? I mean you have a DVD player, a drink and a velvety soft seat, how bad can it be?
- Do you know that I almost cry or melt into a puddle of happy mama every time you wrap your little arms around my neck and put your head on my shoulder.
- Do you know that a cut or a scrape is really a "Bo Bo" not a "Boobie" but just say it that way cause it makes me crack up?
- What do you think when EVERYONE we see ANYWHERE comments on your red hair?
- Why do you pull Zoe's hair constantly? I can tell you want her to like you and that it not the way to help that along!
- Shower's huh? What happened to baths? A bath is nice every now and then at least..
- Do you really think resisting is going to get me to not change your diaper? It can't feel good and we have been doing this for 2 years now.
- Don't you get tired of the 10 food items you eat?
- How come you want to sleep in on the days I have to go to work but are up early on the days I don't?
- How did you pick up on this time out thing so quickly?
- Why do you laugh when Mommy and Daddy yell at you but quiver your lip and cry if someone else says anything like no to you?
- Do you want brothers and sisters? Do you even know what that means?
- How come you don't talk more? I know how smart you are so that isn't it. It seems like you aren't interested, I can't relate to that ...sorry! :)
- Do you know that the skies the limit for you, you can do anything you want to do and me and Daddy will be behind you every step of the way!
- Do you know that I love you so much it hurts and when you say "Mama", hold my hand, give me a hug or kiss or even just flash me a smile I feel like the luckiest person on the planet?
Mama
