You see the world in black and white. Good and bad. Hot and Cold. Bed time and Play time. Mommy and Daddy. There's no complications. No middle ground. It's either or. I admire your innocence. Your sense of certainty about the life you live. There's no confusion. No doubt. No hesitation. Just simplicity. A little boy with everything in the world he could possibly need. You haven't experienced heartache yet (except for that time we had to wash Puppy and you thought … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, Today is the day Birthday Boy! Today you are three years old. I spent a better part of this week trying my hardest to figure out where the years have gone so far. It seems like just yesterday I was in that delivery room impatiently awaiting your arrival. You have changed our lives completely since then. Everything that we do these days is for YOU and to make sure that YOU are happy and taken care of and loved. I hope that as you grow up you always remember how much we love you and … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, This is it baby boy. The last letter I will ever write to you... as a two year old. Because in exactly one month, you will be turning THREE. How did that happen? Didn't you get the memo that you weren't supposed to grow up so fast? That you needed to slow down, give your mommy a chance to adjust to the fact that you aren't an infant anymore? That you aren't a baby and that you are reaching the point of being able to do things on your own, without my help? You very obviously … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, Two months, kiddo. That’s how long it will be before you turn three years old. Two very short months. (A little less than) Eight weeks. That’s all. This month has been one of adjustments for the two of us. Mommy started working pretty much full time from home, and you are having to adjust to not having me at your beck and call 24 hours a day. I’m sure some people sit back and silently criticize the fact that I’ve decided to work out of home; dedicating certain hours of … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, The title of this letter is a fun play on words. Because as of today we are less than three months away from you turning three. And you are still, in reference to age, less than three years old. Mommy’s clever isn’t she? (I’m sure the teenage you reading this will look at me, roll your eyes and give me some sort of “whatever mom” answer…but no matter. Right now, you DO think your mom is cool.) Have I told you recently how much I love you? And how happy you make me? And … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, Another month. As of yesterday, you are four months away from turning three. THREE. When did you grow up? And why are you continuing to do it so fast?! This last month has been a busy one. Your vocabulary continues to grow by leaps and bounds. You’re piecing together sentences and adding new words on a daily basis. You’re starting to say smaller words and include them in your sentence structure. Words like “with,” “and,” “is,” and “am.” It makes it a whole lot … [Read more...]
Dear Noah, Another month older, another letter. Another realization that your time as a child is passing by so much faster than I had hoped it would. You’ll be starting preschool in a few months. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself when you aren’t around all day to play with. There won’t be tons of toys to pick up, no one to sit down and share my lunch with, and I won’t be forced to watch Mickey Mouse 100 times a day. I’ve almost forgotten how to exist without you around … [Read more...]

Dear Noah, This weekend you will be 29 months old…so close to two and a half that it’s scary. It feels like it was only yesterday that they were placing you in my arms for the first time. It’s hard to believe that you’ll be busting your three’s wide open in just a few short months. Why are you growing up so fast, kiddo? Mommy needs a little more time to adjust to the fact that you aren’t a baby anymore. And you don’t seem to be slowing up at all. You’re talking up a storm these … [Read more...]
