Letters to my Littles | May

Welcome to my monthly Letter to my Littles.  After you enjoy my letter please continue on through our blog circle to see what my wonderful friend Allie has written to her littles here.  Keep reading through the circle – it’s a wonderful glimpse of motherhood from various corners of the world.

Dear Caleb & Liam,

It’s been a very busy month for us all!  But we’ve had some great family time together.

Now that the weather is nicer, we are embracing the outdoors.  We have gone on a fabulous, and also harder hike through part of the Finlayson Arm trail.  You were both troopers!

We have also enjoyed going for more family walks.  This sometimes involves food trucks and almost always involves ice cream!

Caleb you and Dad went to Minecraft Wolf Howl camp with all the Cub Scout troops.  I love that you are really into cub scouts now, and that you are working hard to earn your badges and to learn.  It’s been so great to watch you and dad do something together that you both enjoy.  You are off on one more camping adventure this weekend – and it requires a 40 minute hike to and from the beach you will be sleeping on.  You are so excited to do it.

Dad and I went to see U2 in concert in Vancouver.  You two spent the night with grandma and grandpa.  While we were gone we did a trip to Ikea and finally bought you a proper bed Liam.  It was a group effort from all you boys to follow the pictoral instructions and get it assembled.  At first you were just really wanting the boxes to build forts with, but then you loved your new bed.

Both of you are also back into swimming lessons and you are both loving it.  You are both so active now – the bikes and scooters are still always going.  The climbing and “parkour” has also begun.

Caleb you balance your physical activity, screen time and socializing well.  You are also super into reading right now – and I will often catch you will a book under the dining room table or while you are supposed to be cleaning your room!  You are also really into art – and I find origami, drawings and doodles everywhere.  You make my heart smile with the beautiful cards you made for Mother’s day.  You made Poh-Poh’s extra special.

Liam we are going for your kindergarten orientation in a few days.  I’m still in awe of the wonderful, inquisitive and charming little boy you have become.

Thank you both for making me smile all the time.  I love how much we laugh together.  The two of you bring you dad and I such joy.  I can never thank you enough for that.  You remind me to slow down, to enjoy the little things and to make time to play each day.

Love,
Mama
