Next week, my two kids will starting going to childcare, twice a week, since I will be back to work thrice a week (still on-call though).
Part of my preparation was to write the routine of my youngest. That list included her likes and dislikes. I really had to spend time to sit down in peace so I won't miss anything. I felt with everything I have written, it's time to write a letter for my daughtet. It was a wonderful time to recall everything with her. Her milestones and her developing personality. And what a coincidence, one e-group I am a member of, had a new message thread about letters of parents to kids.
It has been more than 6 months since I wrote a letter to Liam and I really haven't had a letter for my sweetie, Sam.
I write to them so I have something to remind them of how they were as kids. I don't know how they will be in the future, but I'm loving what they are now. I will forever cherish these times and if writing is the only way I can preserve those memories, then I will take the time to do it.
When hubby and I are much older, these are the things that I'm pretty sure, we will not get tired of doing. Reading and watching (our videos of kids, which hubby thinks he'll be able to edit, arrange, file properly when he is retired na!) anything about our kids :)
Sam and Liam, Mama will write to you both soon :)
