Dear Mateo
My little boy, I should say my big boy! You are turning 4 years old today and we are going to celebrate it with your friends at the Burnaby Central train station! Hope you will have fun!
My boy, you are my best little boy! You are so smart and clever and you surprise me every day!
You make me laugh at least once a day! Your jokes amaze me! I love it when you come to me and give me a huge hug and kisses! I love when we play and you always want to win! I love at night when I lie down next to you and we chat! I can snuggle with you for a few minutes before you are going to sleep! I love when we do a date together! If you remembered, the last one was when we went to check both of our eyes! We had an ice cream, a chocolate ice cream and you were so happy! I am so looking forward to do the next one (actually next week but you don’t know it yet it’s a surprise!)
But sometimes you also drive me nuts and make me pull my hair out and I can tell you this is not the fun part but at the end of the day I am so happy you are my son and feel so lucky to have you! I try to put myself in your shoes and I do understand why in some moments you want more attention and your naughty behavior drives me crazy! ha ha! But suddenly you don’t have only one but two sisters that took a lot of space in my life! Now I have to divide myself in three and I can tell you it’s not easy every day and I still only have two hands and two legs! So I am sorry if I can’t give you 100% all the time but I really really do my best!
I have learnt so much from you and will continue to do for years to come! Thank you for teaching me forgiveness, how to love unconditionally, how to enjoy small things in life and to be a better mom everyday! Mom is a hard job and not easy every day but I thank God every day that he gave me this opportunity to be your mom and the mom of your sisters! You have made my life worthwhile!
I love you big boy and I’m so proud to be your mom!
Happy Birthday my love. Hope you will have fun today!
Love you always,
Mom
