You are my favorite! You opened the door to motherhood and brought our family closer together. Your kindness and sweetness warm my heart every day. I treasure our special outings, even if it’s just a quick trip to the grocery store. Your love for animals and compassion for people shine brightly. Watching you draw fills me with pride, and your hugs are like a warm embrace that lasts forever. I adore your thoughtful nature, your adorable tan lines, and the charming little birthmark on your cheek. Hearing from teachers and neighbors about your wonderful spirit, even when I already know, makes me smile. Those phone chats we have when I’m not home are precious, and I cherish the little notes you scatter around the house, as well as the moments you read to your siblings. You truly are my favorite!
To My Dearest Child, Noah
You are my favorite! You were the sweetest little one, and I could hardly put you down during your first year. Your joyful spirit and enthusiasm light up our mornings, regardless of how the night went. I love how easily pleased you are and the delightful scent of your neck, along with the magic of your ever-changing eye color. The way you spot me at school and the squeals of excitement that come with it are pure joy. It’s adorable how you “remember being born” and your admiration for your sister, always watching her when she thinks no one is looking. Your beloved teddy bear and how cool you look in sunglasses bring a smile to my face. You are my absolute favorite!
To My Cherished Child, Oliver
You will always be my baby, even if you insist you’re a big boy now! Your husky voice and the way you absorb everything you hear—often without understanding it—are endearing. I love witnessing your attempts to keep up with your siblings and their friends, and that humming sound you make when you love your food is just too cute. You have a knack for turning anything into a game, and your talent for making people laugh is a gift. I adore how you say my name, those pudgy thighs, and how you look in your pajamas. When you hold my face with both hands for a kiss, my heart melts. I love hearing you stomp down the stairs in the morning; you complete our family. You are my absolute favorite!
(For the record, each of you received the same number of words—it’s fair, I promise!)
