Three Years

How can it really have been three years already? It is incomprehensible to me that the little baby who made me a mother can really be turning three. He has turned into a (nearly) fully capable little person who can reason and bargain with me to get what he wants. Of course, he doesn't always get what he wants, but he sure tries hard.

There are just no words for how much I love this child. He amazes me every day. When I see him do something new, I think about the little baby he once was, and how he has gone from something so helpless and turned into a bundle of energy who runs back to me for one last kiss as I walk out of his preschool classroom in the mornings. Everyday miracles. I'll never stop being amazed that this child is the same flutter of life I felt move inside of me.

Mommy and Landon's song:

Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)
by the Dixie Chicks

Dragon tales and "The Water is Wide"
Pirates sail and Lost Boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angels' wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight Moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angels' wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless Mommy and Matchbox cars
God bless Dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angels' wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
