My darling Christopher,
I have been keeping a paper journal for you too, but I don't always have it with me when I want to write to you, so I've just had an inspiration to start a gratitude journal for you here.
It was prompted by hearing your beautiful little voice on the phone this evening. I was listening to you natter away about all the stickers you received at school and house points, for doing six sentences apparently. Your words were music to me and I wish I could bottle them up forever.
I'm so grateful to be your mummy. Being a mother hasn't always been the easiest journey for me, for which I hope you will forgive me one day, but there is no one else I would rather put to bed at night, chattering about all sorts, no one else whose back I would scratch to help them fall asleep, no one else who I would splash through puddles with and put the washing machine on for three times a day!
I'm also delighted that you've found a new passion you enjoy and that's your drumming lessons at school. You enjoyed your first one so much that you keep asking me how many sleeps until the next one. I love your appreciation of music, and so grateful you have healthy little legs to run with, cycle, swim and kick your football! The other day you came home excited to tell me that you were going to run, swim and cycle in year 3, 4 and 5! I'm guessing you'll be doing a triathlon 😊
I'm finishing my last hour at work while you're putting some lego together with daddy. It's a set of dirt bikes and trucks I ordered for you for your birthday, but I couldn't wait to give it to you.
I am now going to create an email address for you where I can send you all these entries for you to read and appreciate a bit later!
Szeretlek ❤️
Mummy xxx
