dear pratt.

dear pratt,

these days you stay up really late. like 9 pm late. but it's not even like 9 pm. because every single night, i think to myself, "he will go to bed as soon as he gets fussy."

yet, you never get fussy. so then i think, "okay. well, he's going to be fussy tomorrow because he isn't sleeping until 9." and then i realize that you sleep until 830 or 9 the next day. and you're never fussy.

i don't get it. you shouldn't be this good. as kristin said once, "hannah does not deserve a calm baby. there is nothing calm about her. it's just not fair."

you are so easy. so incredibly easy. we are so incredibly spoiled.

today you had your first valentine's day party at kids day out.

we took dora valentine cards with miniature m&m packs. they are probably your favorite. you don't get them a lot. but when you do get them, your entire mouth turns blue. and your hands are stained. and you hold as many as you can as tightly as you can in your fist. i think you're worried i might take them from you to eat. smart kid.

before i left you at kdo, i peeked in at you. you've stopped crying when i drop you off. i think you actually want to go. there are something like 12 other kids in there. and you love it. i watched you ride the horse today. i think it's your favorite. you're so inquisitive. you watch what all the other kids do. and then you go over and become a part of it. but not in a pushy way. more of just you wanting to be a part of the group too.

you love your teachers and let me tell you, they love you too. the other day, ms. janice said, "bye bye pratt. i love you."

it brought tears to my eyes. it was so sweet. and it's so nice to know that they love you. we can never have too many people in our lives loving us.

you made me and dad a "happy valentines day" picture. you colored it. and rest assured, i will have it framed soon.

days go by way too fast. time seems to fly by. but i promise i'm trying my best to soak in every single moment with you.

you are our most favorite little man. you always will be. always, always, always.

love you sugar pie,
mommy.

I'm sorry. Who is that big boy in your header and what have you done with little Pratt?!?!? Seriously Hannah - he is so cute! How is it already the year he turns two!

First Valentine's Day party...you made it to that milestone (with supplies) was that fun or what?! I remember Madeline's first. All her little parties are my favorite. Love has taken on a whole new meaning, right? I LOVE YOU! Happy Valentine's Day! Oh, and how cool is it that we will have spent the last two New Years together and the last 2 Valentine's Days together?!

you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - dr. seuss

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
