letters to our sons | december 2013 | anticipation

Dear Finn,

My dear, sweet little boy…your turned 6 this past month! Your birthday anticipation was clearly evident from the end of September. Although your excitement tried my patience at times, it did take me back to when I was younger and how times moved so slow or almost stood still before a special occasion.  Perhaps as we get older, the special days lose a little bit of their luster and the level of excitement wanes? Thank you for the reminder to not take these moments for granted and to be excited…the anticipation helps build the specialness of your day- and you deserve it…we all do!

So while this might not mean that much to you now, please use this as a reminder when you get older. Keep your candy jar to count the days. Let the excitement and anticipation build. It is your special day- keep it magical!

I’m looking forward to counting the days until your 7th birthday- and many, many more to come- and sharing in that excitement with you!

I love you!

Mom
