My Little Cuddle Bug

Dear Boston,

Today is a Saturday and although you usually wake me up earlier than I would like, I LOVE getting you out of bed in the morning when I get to. You are so snuggly and sweet. This morning you laid on my chest for awhile as we watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together. It is moments like that that remind me how lucky I am to be your Mother. I am so lucky that you are alive and healthy. You are such a joy to me. I love how you share my cereal with me in the mornings when I get home from work. I love how you pull me into our closet and want to shut the door and pretend it's our cave. I love how you always want to make honey sandwiches.

You've been wanting to help so much lately. You want to help me mop and do laundry and load/unload the dishwasher. Your sweet little efforts are so amazing.

It's been nice to have some warmer weather lately so we can go to the park and play. It's funny how you love the little patches of snow that are left. You love to walk on them and hear the crunching sound. You hated the snow when there was a ton of it, but perhaps those little patches aren't so intimidating.

We found out last week that you are going to have a little sister. We want to name her Jocelyn and I hope and pray that you two will become the best of friends. I hope and pray that she will grow strong and healthy in my tummy like you did. I know you will be an amazing big brother, but please know that you will always be my baby. You'll grow big someday and you won't cuddle with me on the couch, but I hope you never get too big to give your Mom a hug. I love you sweetheart and I am so grateful to spend each and everyday with you.

Love,
Mommy
