Dear Ziggy,
As I held you on my lap tonight, your head and legs dangling well off my body, it was hard to believe you once resided in me.
I love you.
Mama
Dear Ziggy,
Hello little monster. Lately your will has grown stronger and you like to give me what for.
Well, I just thought I’d point out a few things. Because sometimes we need to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves.
In the past weeks you have:
-Bit me in the shoulder so it left a bruise.
-Bit my fingers numerous times. And hard!
-Spilled the entire sugar bowl, and it was even the Raw sugar.
-Pooped in the tub. Yep.
-Thrown some lying down tantrums in public. Always in public, because you like an audience.
-Wiped your jelly hands on the wall.
-Pooped through a diaper and you never do that.
-There’s probably more but I blocked it out.
So it’s been fun. It has.
You did learn to stack blocks and use your radio control firetruck so that’s a plus. You also like to say “Wow” a lot which is most entertaining.
Yes, your adorableness trumps your craziness much of the time. I just keep reminding myself you’re discovering that you are a human being separate from me. You want to do the things you want to do and that’s that. I’m here to make sure all your limbs stay attached and you don’t get into any brawls. So far so good.
I will always love you anyways,
Mommy
Dear Ziggy,
Staying in can be fun.. especially when there are tons of construction trucks working next door, all day, every day.
But I think the best days we have are the days we go out in the morning and play play play.
Then we come home, have lunch, and if I’m lucky you will take a nice long nap.
I love you but.. those naps help keep me a sane and good Mama. I need them as much as you do.
xoxo
Ma
