Dear Dylan,
Wow. Your third birthday was yesterday and it’s taking a little time for it to sink into
Mommy’s head that you’re growing up so quickly! Yesterday was uneventful - there
wasn’t a big party, but you didn’t care. While Daddy and I were singing you happy
birthday in an empty kitchen, you still knew that it was your special day. It was your
day to really shine. Your big blue eyes were so bright and curious while awaiting your
slice of birthday cake - like a little angel. I hope your birthday was a great one, baby,
and I bittersweetly look forward to many, many, MANY more of your birthdays. You’re
growing up. At times it seems like it’s taken a long time to get through three years,
and sometimes it seems like it’s only been a blink of an eye since you were born.
I know that we bump heads just like every other mother and child out there. You can
be a handful most of the time, and I know that you don’t like it when I get on to you for
what (you think) is for no good reason. But just know that no matter what, I love you
so very much - with every pulse and rhythm of my heart. You are the best thing that’s
ever happend to me, son. You are my life, my world, my everything. I’d die for you
and I’d kill for you in the blink of an eye. I’m always going to be here for you no matter
what. I know it’s silly to be writing you a letter when you’re years away from being
able to read, but this is just my way of expressing my feelings, and reflecting on your
passing birthdays. Maybe someday, you’ll be able to read them.
I love you, sweetie. Don’t ever forget that. You’ll always be my little boy no matter
how old you get. Even when you’re 70, I’ll still consider you my baby boy. But let’s
not think about that yet, Mommy’s having enough trouble believing you’re three
already!
Love always and forever,
Mommy

I bit the bullet and got my hair cut today. It’s a dramatic change, to say the least. It’s really had to grow on me because I’m so used to having long hair, but I think it turned out alright. See for yourself:
I don’t suppose it’s all that bad, everyone is their own worst critic, heh, and that’s no different with me. At least it’s cooler and easier to manage! That’s a plus, right? Right?!
Dylan and I spent the day with my parent’s yesterday. My grandma is still visiting and is driving my mom and dad up the walls, to put it bluntly. She has given no indication of when she wants to leave and go back home. She’s already stayed for almost 2 months!! I don’t know of anyone who likes to be away from home for 2 months, except her. :blank: I just don’t understand it. I love her, but I’m ready for things to go back to normal. :(
Ah, well enough bitchin’ and moanin’. Dylan was playing around in MS Paint last night on my parent’s computer, and was really having a blast! It’s the first time he’s really shown any interest in fooling with the computer and he came out with a very beautiful drawing, in my opinion. ;) Take a look:
I know, I’m such a sap. It’s just a mess of scribbly lines, but to me it shows that he has an active imagination! I couldn’t even tell you how many ‘mommies’, ‘daddies’, and ‘cars’ are in that picture. Ha, I guess he knew what he was drawing even thought it doesn’t look like anything to anyone else. I even saved it and emailed it to myself so I could have it here at home. :blush: Haha, I know - what’s wrong with me? :P I’m such a typical ‘my-child-is-so-awesome’ mom sometimes, even though I don’t necessarily mean to be!
Blech, we have to go to the grocery store tonight. I’m really only going because we’re running out of food and as we all know - that’s kinda important. Everything has gotten so pricey lately though - it seems like you go out and spend $150 and come home with 2 or 3 bags. :( Or at least, that’s how it feels for me sometimes. It’s a little depressing, but somehow we always make it through from week to week. :)
