Better Late Than Never...

Ever since Kyle turned two on April 30th I have been meaning to write him a letter to put in the scrapbook.  I like to do this with each child on their birthdays just to let them know what they were doing at that time.  So I finally got Kyle's two year old letter done and here it is...

My Dear Sweet Little Kyle,

I can’t believe that you are two years old.  It seems like just yesterday we were holding our tiny scrunch-faced little boy in our arms.  You have grown up so much and have turned into an adorable little toddler.  I wanted to write you this letter to tell you how much your mommy and daddy and Makayla love you.  You mean everything to us.  We can’t even remember what life was like without you in it.  You are such a huge part of all of our lives and we love you more than anything.

You are doing so many things right now.  You love to color.  Most of the time it ends up on the doors or walls or floors or Makayla’s bed but every once in a while it goes on paper.  You love to bug your sister.  Even though she is three and a half years older than you you know exactly how to push her buttons.  I constantly hear Makayla’s screams as you are chasing her around the house with a stick in your hands.  Sometimes I secretly think she likes it though.  We will have to ask her when she is older and find out the truth!!!  You also love Josie.  You call her Jo Jo and she loves you too.  You are learning how to be soft with her and give her rubs but every once in a while you just have to pull her ear.  You love it when Jo Jo comes and sits by you to share your snack.  You love to snuggle with her when it is time for your nap. 

One of your favorite things is skin.  Yes, you hear me right I said skin.  Whenever any of us are getting dressed you get this little smile on your face and say, “skin, skin, skin.”  You love to be held and lay your head on my bare shoulder to feel skin.  It is very sweet.  You absolutely love to take baths!!!  You could spend all day in the bath tub if we let you.  You love to either have bubbles in the tub or put in a color to color the water.  You always tell me what color you want although you are not always exactly correct with your colors.  You also love to have your frogs in the bath tub with you.  You play with those frogs the whole time and it is so cute. 

Your very favorite thing right now is trains.  You call them Choo Choos.  You have so many trains at the house and you spot them everywhere outside.  You know where the train tracks are and are constantly watching to see if a train will pass on them.  We can be anywhere in the city and you will be playing and having fun.  All of a sudden you will stop and say, “Choo Choo.”  We will realize that there is a train horn somewhere off in the distance that you have heard.  It is amazing how much you love trains. 

Kyle you are the most amazing little boy.  You have the sweetest little personality and you love your family so much.  I can’t tell you how many times I have found you snuggling with Makayla while you watch a show, or snuggling with your daddy while he reads you a book, or snuggling with Jo Jo.  Every day when it is time for your nap I take you in my bedroom with your milk and your blankie and we snuggle while you drink your milk.  It isn’t long before you fall asleep and I take my precious little sleeping boy to your crib for a nice nap.  Every day Makayla makes sure that she can give you a kiss before I put you in bed. 

We love you so much!  We thank our Heavenly Father every day for sending you to our home.  We can’t wait to see what life brings to our little Kyle.

Love,

Your Mommy
