I want Michael to grow up thinking that to us he is the best thing since sliced bread. I want him to be humble and realistic too, but I want him to know that he was wanted, loved, and did I mention the best thing since sliced bread, nutella, and peppermint chapstick (too bad they dont sell this anymore). Too often I hear people say things about how they dont know if their parents love them, they didnt get enough attention as children, and as adults their relationship with their families is strained at best. I dont want that to be us. I know that is great to say considering how long we have left to work on that relationship, but I think it is a realistic goal. I think it is realistic to give him plenty of hugs and kisses while he is small and yes even when he is taller than I am and hates it. I think it is realistic to try and stay involved in his life as a teen and when he is an adult. And yes I think it is more than realistic to let him know that he is the best thing that has happened to us. So Mikey let's just get it out in the open, even though when you wake me up at 3am because you are teething and your mouth hurts and I may seem a little less chipper than I would have at 7am- to us you the the best thing since sliced bread... yeah that awesome.
Can you believe he was ever this small?
