My Dear Boy,

I was planning on compiling some of your older photos for this month’s letter but then I decided to use the photos we took at the gardens last Friday because it’s almost Valentine’s Day and you look so adorable in your red sweater.

You gave me the best early Valentine’s Day present one night a couple of weeks ago. You had thrown a tantrum because you didn’t want to go to bed and I had to give you a couple of time-outs before you finally relented. We laid down and you gave me a hug and said “Evan loves Mama” for the first time and you melted my heart.

You are getting better and better at stringing your words into sentences. Some of my favorite phrases you said are: “Come on Mama”, “Evan have some … please”, “Pull, pull, pull” while pulling my hand trying to get me up; and my most favorite “Evan loves Mama”. You finally mastered riding your tricycle, you are getting very good at playing soccer and you are starting to memorize the books that we read to you. You love drawing. Your favorites are drawing fireworks, apple, circle moon and tunnel. While you still need my help to write “D” for Dada you can write “E” for Evan and “M” for Mama by yourself.

Mama loves you too my sweet boy.

Next up is my dear friend Tricia. Please continue on to read her letter to her boys.

letters to my son . january 2014

January 10, 2014

My Sweet Boy,

I haven’t wrote to you since your second birthday and boy oh boy what a difference you made in those 3 months. You are such a good talker and singer now. You just can’t stop singing. You asked to watch the Rose Parade on TV tonight so I put in on and watched it with you. You started singing and I explained to you that we won’t be able to hear the marching band but you just kept on going. That’s okay with me since I’d rather hear your sweet voice anyway.

Last month was your third Christmas. You still don’t understand what it means and you did not want to come downstairs. When you finally came downstairs you saw the train table we got you and you just couldn’t stop playing with it. We tried to get you to open more presents but you were not interested. I’m sure that will change by next Christmas!

You are in this phase where all you want to do is stay home. Every time we asked if you want to go somewhere you always say: “Stay home, stay home.” Even when the option is to come with me or stay home with Grandma you would pick to stay home. But whenever we take you somewhere you always always have fun and you get very upset when it’s time to go.

You also became stronger and braver! You learned to jump with both feet off the ground. You can finally pronounced your name right. You used to not like the sand on your feet so I was very surprised that you ran straight to the sand when we took you to the beach last month. You went through the tunnel by yourself instead of asking to be carried. You got better at riding your big wheel. Your cousins taught you how to scrunch your face which you think is very funny. Most importantly you are still my sweet boy who is kind to others.

Love you,

Mama
