Kiddo, I apologize for not writing something before now, but I wanted to share a little about your Mom on her Birthday. Today is a day that I will help you in the beginning to remember, but you will need to have it ingrained into your brain at an early age. Your Mommy does not ask for or want much, but would absolutely melt if we worked together to make her a card, or even take a good picture to put into the card.
When I imagine what type of person you will become, I look to your mother and there are so many traits of hers that I pray you get, but I will take too much of the blog so I will tell you about my favorites. Your Mom, in many ways, is the complete opposite of me. I am shy and your Mom is the center of attention. She is very out going with family, friends and even complete strangers. I, on the other hand, speak to no one. This is not how I want you to grow up. It is important to have good social skills so you can succeed in life.
I also hope that you are as creative as her. She has a wonderful talent of taking a simple picture and turning it into a work of art. She has been scrapbooking for several years and her talent absolutely blows me away. I know that I do not show it, but I am very proud of all of our photo albums. She is very talented at scrapbooking, so be prepared to take a lot of photos. She has a passion about photos, and she is very good at taking them. Please do not develop the dreadful smile that I have - where it looks like I am being physically tortured. By the way, your Mom has a beautiful smile that just absolutely warms my heart. I do not think she will let me live it down if you smile like me.
I ask that you take up her passion of reading. I joke with her all the time that I do not know how to read, but actually just do not seem to have the patience. Reading is a fundamental skill for you to develop into a responsible person. I know that she will work with you and I am sure she will have you reading at a college level come kindergarten.
I wanted to tell you about a couple of her traits, but I can not list them all. I want you to learn and appreciate them as much as I do. I will tell you this - she will have an unconditional love for you. I have already seen the amount of love that she has for you with each passing week. You might have to learn some of her tells, but you need to know under that shell that she will love you more than anything in this world.
