Stay With Me

Dear Sawyer,

Sweet things you do now:

- You sit to my right at meal times but that is apparently not close enough for you because a few minutes into every meal, you always push your place mat and chair as close as you can to mine so that they are touching and say, "I love you." Sometimes, you even like to hold my hand while we eat and give me so many hugs that I actually have to tell you, "Okay, no more hugs! Eat your dinner!"

- When I am across the room, you instruct me to squat and hold out my arms so that you can run into them and have me catch you.

- When I put you down for a nap, you often ask me in a soft voice, "Can you stay with me this much?" Then you reach your arm up to the ceiling. And I can hardly say no when you ask me so adorably!

Love,
Mom
