grazie mille, amore...
thank you, mi amore, for your little presence in this world, being your mama has opened my eyes, my world, my heart and stretched me in so many unexpected ways. i treasure every belly laugh you offer, every creature you bring to me hugging and telling me 'so cute', every goodnight bear hug and big kiss, every 'so happy to see you' that you whisper into my ear, and every big smile with a mouth full of orange. i have learned (and am still learning) to muster patience at your need for independence, to take a deep breath myself on those occasions where you need to 'take a breath' and sit on the simmer down step, and to allow you the space you require to grow into your own little man. thank you for leading me on my own mama journey. ti amo, little boy.
Oh, such a perfect memory of my own boy when he was small--he was crazy busy and full of life! And sweet like yours sounds to be, and even at 20 gives me hugs and kisses... i'm so glad you know to treasure this time!! :-)
