Goodnight kisses...

In case I have not expressed this enough... I adore Pinterest!  While wasting time this evening and browsing around I came across this....




This is exactly how I hope Cayden lives his childhood.   I want him to have the happiest and most care-free childhood.  I hope it is full of amazing memories and he always knows how much he is loved.  I want him to be a boy, but also have manners.  I want him to always  have fun, but know responsibility.  I want him to be kind, and caring.  I hope that he always speaks his mind and stands up for what is right.  I pray he is always safe, and yet continues to explore.  I hope he has a big imagination and a love for adventure.  I hope he enjoys his childhood, because it definitely goes by too fast!

Tonight as we were reading our bedtime books I couldn't help but just take in the moment.  It was too sweet not to.  Here I was sitting in the rocking chair in his room, reading him favorite bedtime book {The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boyton} and after every page he would look up at me and grin.  When the book was over,  I picked him up to face me so I could say goodnight when he leaned in and gave me the cutest, sweetest, wettest kiss on my cheek.   
I kissed him back and put him in his crib.   While I was turning on his night light I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest mom.   I hope he knows how happy he makes me and how precious these moments are to me.  
I see things like this sign and it reminds me of all the things I want him to grow up knowing.  I adore being his mom and I am so thankful for the sweet little moments like we had this evening. 

Love, 
Whitney
