Secret Language

Dear Sawyer,

You are still my little sweetheart, always telling me how beautiful I am and how much you love me. You are constantly saying things to me such as:

"These [store-bought] cookies are good but yours are better."

"That sunset is beautiful but you are more beautiful."

"She looks pretty in that dress but you'd look prettier."

You: "This pasta is the best thing you ever made."
Me: "The plain pasta? All I did was boil water and put the pasta in it."
You: "Well, if Daddy boiled the water, it wouldn't taste as good."

That last one was a bit ridiculous but you are still so sweet to say so many nice things to me! I love that you tell me that you love me several times every day and that you have even devised a secret code to tell me. A few months ago, you informed me that every time you look at me, smile and squeeze your eyes shut really tightly, it's code for "I love you." And you do it all of the time, on top of telling me verbally. Thank you so much, Baby Bear! I love you so very much, too, and am so lucky to have a little boy who makes me feel so special!

Love,
Mom
