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
You are such a good mommy and Cayden loves you sooo much!
