Best Valentine

A letter to David.

To My Big Boy and My Favorite Little Valentine,
It's a common occurrence for you to just hug me and say " I love you. " no prompting necessary. Of all the kids..you definitely love me the most. You come and ask me to snuggle with you in the morning..and sometimes at nap time. ;) You always want to go with me. One important outing is helping me take the kids to school in the morning. You get yourself up just to make sure that I don't leave without you. Always..you want to be wrapped up tight in a blanket and carried out to the car where you sit quietly through the whole ride. Just content to be with me.

Do I sometimes feel overwhelmed by your love...a little. You hate me to leave you.  But, that is a small sacrifice for the blessing it is to be loved so much. When you prayed the other night for Heavenly Father to bless mommy to be safe I was taken back by the knowledge that Heavenly Father was listening and would watch over me in answer to you sweet sincere prayer.

Dave, you are kind and gentle. Your heart is full of the love and you let it shine. And..you are rough and tumble. Climbing, running, and loving to be a comedian. Lately you respond in gibberish just because it's funny. You are competitive..and that's hard when your sister is 2 years older than you..which also means she is bigger and faster. She does let you win on some occasions but it's a little rare. I comfort you when you lose. :)

Happy Valentines Day to a boy full of so much love it couldn't possibly be contained in that little body...it just has to be shared. I love you David.

Love , mom
