My Boys in Blue

Matthew Kai,

I've forgotten how gummy your smile is.

These photographs were from July 2009 -- you were almost two months.

Now, today on April 15th, you've got four teeth and one pushing through.

You are the delight in my world and your Daddy's.

Today, I am at work and you won't see me until it's dark. Right before bed. Your eyes would light up when I walk through the door. Then we'd wash up and I'd feed you.

Sing you a song and give you kisses.

And lull you to dreamland.

Sometimes I don't eat dinner until 9:30 pm.

And your dad? During this time, he's washing dishes and helping to pack up for the next day if I'm working.

And he's as tired as I am from his job too.

But he waits for me so we could eat together.

*sighs*

I wouldn't trade these things for anything in the world :).

Love,

Mama
