Parents don’t always get things right, and I am not exempt
from that but there are a few things that I will promise my children, and no
matter how exhausted or busy I am, I will always, always keep these promises…
Dear Chase McGee and Ry-Ry Pumpkin Pie,
* I promise to always greet you with a smile in
the morning and be genuinely happy to see you.
Everyone deserves to start their day off loved. And you are loved. So, very loved.
* I promise to always (and I mean always) pack the
ice-cream down in your ice-cream cone.
Anyone who leaves the cone hollow should not be trusted, under any
circumstances. Use this test to pick
future partners.
* I promise that I will not lie to you about
having a baby book. I simply have never
kept one up to date for you. It doesn’t
mean that I don’t love you, it just means that I like watching television more
than printing pictures. But I also
promise that the night before your high school graduation party, we will both
sit at the kitchen table until midnight, sorting through 18 years of memories, pretending
to be crafty and create one together.
* I promise that whenever you ask me to read you a
book, I will stop what I’m doing and read to you. (Unless it’s a book that I don’t enjoy, in
which case I will read it once and then throw it behind the book case in hopes
that it will never again be discovered.)
* I promise, promise, promise that I will never
stop writing about you. Even when you
are old enough to read this yourself and despise every word, I will never
stop. Adult you will appreciate this
promise.
Love always,
Momma
On a side note: Ryder has said “Mama” eight times. And “Dada”
zero.
