Dear Liam,
You are getting to be such a big boy! I know that when the baby comes, you're going to seem even bigger, which seems unbelievable right now. We got your school pictures yesterday, and I swear you look like you're about 10 years old in them! Who is this kid?! I love how great you are at posing for photographers. It's pretty amazing- most other kids are not as willing to smile and pose as you are! Now, if you would only let ME take your picture more often!
You got a "new" dresser last week. You got my old dresser, I got a new one, and the baby will get the changing table/dresser that you've had since birth. Your room truly looks like a big boy room now. The dresser has five drawers, instead of just three like the changing table one, and it's also much taller. You room looks really big too!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I know you're really looking forward to the long weekend. You just LOVE when I come to pick you up at the end of the week, and when I see you, you yell, "it's the WEEKEND!!!" I love our weekends together. I hope to do lots of fun things with you this weekend, like our usual outings to the library and Wonderlab, and hopefully some of the city's holiday activities, like the lighting of the Christmas lights downtown. I think you'll really like it!
Love you, my sweet Li Li Boy,
Mommy

Halloween!
Dear Liam,
Halloween was this week, and you were Captain America. The night before Halloween, you were sooooo excited that you couldn't even fall asleep. You just kept saying, "I just can't wait for Halloween to come, Mommy!" You had a fabulous time trick or treating in our neighborhood, and you were such a polite little boy. It was so much fun.
As usual, you can be pretty crazy sometimes, but you can also be so super sweet. One time, last week, we were coloring in coloring books. There was a page that said you should draw a picture of your best friend. You started drawing, and I asked who you were drawing... and you said, "Well, YOU, Mommy!" I almost cried. You're such a sweet boy.
Recently, on an episode of a TV show I like, one of the characters had a freak-out at work... and it all boiled down to the fact that she was stressed out and depressed over the fact that she'd taken her son to kindergarten, walked into the classroom... and he'd let go of her hand. I keep thinking about that. While watching it, I burst into tears. You always want to hold my hand. We get out of the car, and you immediately reach for my hand. Even just walking from the car into your daycare, you reach for my hand, and you don't let go when I open the gate or the door. I can't imagine a day when you won't reach for my hand. I know that day is coming soon... and I kind of dread it. I love you so much, sweet boy.
Love, Mommy
