mother's day . . .

dear kate

today is mother's day. you are too young to understand that now,

so i'm going to tell you about your mommy and about why she is a mommy

to be treasured and loved.

your mommy has a fierce love for you and wants only what is best for you in your life.

she takes such good care of you and always wants to do the right thing.

she is careful to get healthy food so that she can make you nutritious meals and snacks.

she bathes you and makes sure you brush your teeth (even though that can be a battle sometimes!)

she washes your hair and combs it and puts it into cute pony tales and things.

she has beautiful clothes for you to wear and she takes good care of them.

she makes sure you are dressed up cute every day with everything clean and matching!

she watches over your health and if you ever get sick, she takes special care of you.

she makes sure you go to all the proper doctor's appointments

and makes sure that you get all of your immunizations at the right time.

she plays with you.

she dances with you.

she sings with you.

she teaches you letters and numbers.

she remembers to talk with you about all of your family in ontario (who love you very much).

she takes tons and tons of photos of you.
