(Brykn, self photo...with my camera...when I wasn't looking)
Every day when we say goodnight, I ask my angels if they
know how much their mom loves them. Brykn, now a mighty five-year-old, rolls
his eyes and says, “Just a little bit.” I snuggle him tight and say, “WRONG! I
love you more than anything in the whole wide world.” Harlee, on the other hand, still hasn’t caught on to the game and usually says, “Nigh, Nigh, My lub ew.”
Well, tonight I’m changing it up a bit, Brykn. I’m going to tell you
10 things you should absolutely know…
Brykn...
10. I love the way you come snuggle with me on the couch on
Saturday morning. You have no idea how much I miss cuddling you. You’ve gotten
so big and I’m not even sure where the time has gone! Thanks for taking a
minute to remind me how much I love your hugs when you’ve just gotten out of
bed!
9. I love the fact that you are always on the go! I had a
neighbor once tell me that the thing she misses the most about having her
children be small is the noise. I thought she was crazy…and, well, there are
still sometimes I think she is. But, I love the fact that you are an active
little guy who is always up for an adventure.
8. I love making music with you! I love dancing and singing
while you rock out on the guitar—even if we do look completely crazy!
7. I love taking you to the bus every morning. Despite how
hectic our mornings are, the very best part of my day is when I get to kiss you
as the bus pulls up, tell you to have a great day, and pat your but as you run
for the bus steps. Thanks for kissing me—in public! (I know that’s not going to
last long.)
6. I love watching you become a cowboy superstar! I can’t
believe how brave you are and how good of a little cowboy/horse trainer you are
becoming. You remind me of another Burnett cowboy when you ride horse!
5. I love that you are such an amazing brother. You help
Harlee, you stick up for her, and you love her. You have no idea how proud that
makes me!
4. I love seeing the projects you bring home from
kindergarten and the pride in your eyes as you show them to me. It’s amazing to
me how much you have learned in just a few months. You’re getting to be a
fantastic reader!
3. I love reading to you every night. I love how it takes
you 15 minutes to choose 2 books to read. I love how you beg me to read it
again…and I do. I love that this is special time for just the two of us.
2. I love that you have a soft side. You are a thoughtful,
kind person who cares about others. You are always willing to share, you treat
others nicely, and you truly care about other people’s feelings.
1. And, of course, I love that you are mine. And, because I
am lucky enough to be your mom, I get to tell you that I LOVE YOU MORE THAN
ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
