My World

Dear Evan,

With your baby brother set to arrive any day now, I wanted to write you a letter to let you know just how amazing the last (almost) 27 months have been. For the last 27 months, you have been my world. You have brought me so much joy and love, more than I could ever have imagined. Watching you grow and learn everyday has taught me to appreciate the little things in life more than I did before you were born. You have helped me understand what is truly important in life and to (try to) be more patient. I never thought of myself as "stay at home mom" material but after spending the last 2+ years home with you, I wouldn't change it for the world. I owe your daddy a great big "thank you" for working so hard and giving me this opportunity. Sure we have had our tough moments and days when we have both been upset and tired, but we have had many more moments and days when we have both been happy and smiling and laughing. There is not a day that goes by that I am not amazed by what you can do and what you know. You make me laugh, smile and shed tears of joy daily!

I love what we have and I love what we do and if I am being completely honest, I am a little sad to see it coming to an end. The birth of your little brother will be the biggest change that we have experienced as a family since you were born. While none of us can quite understand what that means just yet, I know that as a family our love with help us through every minute, the good times and the challenging ones. I know that we will fall into a new rhythm and routine with your little brother. I, also, know that you will be a wonderful big brother based on so many things you have already said and done. You are a caring, sweet, smart, loving, fun little boy and I know your little brother will love you as much as Dad and I do. Thank you for brightening my life everyday and for teaching me so much about the important things in life. Because of you, my heart is more full than I ever imagined it could be! I love you more than you will ever know!

Love always,

Mom.

Just being silly and making me laugh as always!
