my little boy turns two
a letter to my little boy kyle on his 2nd birthday...
kuya kyle,
maybe in the future when you're all grown up you get to stumble into mommy's blog and get to read my thoughts and what-nots. i'm hoping you do get to read this too.
my dear boy, how time flies, you just turned two and how much you have grown before my eyes. before ou were this little infant dependent on me for your needs. your frail little hands and feet, your curious eyes. your smiles and coos. and now, you have learned to assert yourself. one way or the other you have learned to fight for what you want. you now know how to tell mommy and dada what you want. you're slowly learning to express what you feel. your little triumphs and failures make me so proud of what you have become. although you are becoming a bit hard headed when you're on one of your moods, you still know how to make things better.
i'm proud that you are happy learning things at your own pace with mommy and dada watching you. i'm proud of how you're treating your little brother with all the love and care your little self could do. your being protective of keon to a fault shows that when the two of you are older, you're surely have his back no matter what. at such a young age, you sure do possess a mature mind albeit your babble and kyle-speak.
i remember the day when i first saw you in the nursery when the nurse handed you to me. you were fast asleep and full from your feeding. upon placing you in my arms, you slowly opened your eyes and from there i knew you were mine and me to you. with your open eyes, i felt that you knew me. there was this look of content from you and the tears of joy just flowed. at that moment i didn't want to leave your side. i wanted to hold you and keep you safe. your warmth and smell was comforting. i knew everything will be alright.
taking you home was even joyous. people were fawning over you and how good looking you were. i never felt so proud. you were never the fussy baby. you knew when to feed and not cause a scene. you understood that we all needed rest. you were happy as long as you slept on my chest and hear my heartbeat.
the months rolled on and we were getting to know each other. you were quite the happy and smart baby. at three months you knew how to roll over on your own. by the 6th you were sitting on your own and crawling. and a day after your first birthday, you were walking with confidence. you were starting to express how you felt through your own words. everyday was fun learning with you. you were more fascinated with cars and other toys than the alphabet and numbers. i never forced you to learn them, i knew in time you would. i nurtured your love of toys and books. bedtime was your favorite, mommy gets to read you any book you wanted until you get tired and asked to be scratched on your head. you eventually got tired of sleeping on my chest and opted to sleep and cuddle beside me or dada while hugging your dutdut pillow which you do until now.
my little boy, everyday you make me proud from the little things you do. those moments when you just run to me and hug me makes my heart melt and even when i'm having a bad day, you make everything right. i hope that when yougrown up to be a fine young man, you won't get tired of doing this. there are a lot of things i still have to teach you but we're going to take it one day at a time. there's no need for us to rush. you never liked being rushed, you like doing things at your own pace.
kuya kyle, always remember that no matter what you have dada and mommy to run to in times of trouble and triumph. you are our home. no matter the circumstance never hesitate to reach out to us and talk to us. right or wrong, happy or sad we are always here and your brother. always remember that your family will be there for you and the first one you should run to in times of need. we will be there without question. without judgement.
kuya kyle, you're just two and we have a long road ahead of us. and i'm looking forward to all the experiences we'll go through. always remember that mommy, dada and keon are behind you 100%. i'm so proud of you kyle for what you have become. you make motherhood the best role i've ever had.
i love you tutuy bear!
