Letters to my Heart

Sweet Maya,
I noticed last night while we were out for a walk how tall you have gotten. You are growing out of being a toddler and into a girl. As I watched you eat dinner, your features took my breath away. Your brown ringlets were in your face, your little mouth chewed quietly and your almond shaped eyes looked up at me and sparkled. Even daddy's camera could not capture you the way I saw you. My God! You are stunning! I got a glimpse of how you will look as a young woman. I can't imagine how I will get through your teen years. But then you looked up and said "mom, can I have pig spit for dessert?" and I quickly remembered that I have several years to figure that out.

Handsome Logan,
I can't believe how much you have blossomed in the past week. You have taken off with walking and each day I see your confidence grow. Just when I thought I would be holding you forever, you got up on those two feet and went exploring with a new pair of eyes.  I look at your face and see how proud you are of yourself. I am proud too. Today in the car you looked different to me. No more baby. You are turning into a little toddler. Watching you grow into a healthy boy is nothing but a pure delight for me. Your changes in the last few weeks have been remarkable.
