Dear Kaleb,



Today was a rough one.
Especially the part where we were driving in the car & I threatened you with your life and then you called me on it yelling,

“You can’t do anything to me. We’re driving!”

You’re a smart one, you are.
And cute-- which is a great survival tactic. Heavenly Father sure knew what he was doing when he made you.

You might want to wrap me up in duct tape,
but I’m so cute the only thing you’ll manage to do is kiss and hug me to death

You continue to teach me patience.
You continue to teach me unconditional love.
You continue to teach me to speak soft.
You continue to teach me how much better of a person/Mom I need to be.

And all this time I thought I was the one that was supposed to be doing the teaching.

It's funny how they end up teaching us isn't it. I am learning so much from my boys too.

I think all mothers of little boys must feel the same way! at least I do x's 4! I think I ran out of patience a long time ago! I am trying REALLY hard to get it back!
