The little loves



The most loved one:







To my #1: Kara:


I love you the most. You introduced me to the world of motherhood and made us a family. I love how genuinely kind and sweet you can be sometimes. I love how you consider any alone time with me now a special date, even if we just go to the market. I love how nurturing and compassionate you are to animals and people, alike. I love watching you draw and the pride you take in your art. I love how you hug like you’re never going to let go. I love how thoughtful you are, sometimes. I love your tan lines. I love hearing from teachers how wonderful you are, even though I already know. I love talking to you on the phone. I love reading to you hearing you read to your brother. You are my absolute favorite.




To my favorite child, Peter:


I love you the most. You were the sweetest baby in the world. I love your exuberance and enthusiasm. I love how easy to please you can be. I love the smell of your neck. I love holding your hand and the face you make when you spot me at school. I love the way your voice gets really high when you’re excited and that you actually squeal with delight. I love how much you worship your sister and the way you watch her when she’s not looking. You will always be my baby, even though you insist that you are a big boy. I love your husky voice and the way your repeat everything you hear even though half the time, you have no idea what you’re saying. I love the humming sound you make when you really like what you’re eating. I love watching you play and how you can make a game of pretty much anything. I love how much you love making people laugh. I love the way you say my name. I love your pudgy thighs and your knees and the way you look in your pajamas. I love the way you hold my face with two hands when you give me a kiss. You round out our family, completely. You are my absolute favorite.
