To My PRESTON-
You are three and half years old, soon to be four years (in 4 short months). Today you went to primary instead of the usual nursery for the first time! You were so excited! Elated actually. It made me cringe just a little to see that you were so independent and not in need of me or your dad to sit by you and hold your hand. You happily sat by your friends and waved goodbye to us. I walked away with a little sting in my heart. I'm not sure why because I have longed for this day! Literally pleaded for the day dropping you off for second hour was an easy task. And now here we are, no tears or worries from you, just a cute little squeeze and goodbye wave and I'm sad about it!!!
As I was getting you dressed for church today I took extra time to dry your body off and examine your little (big) chubby toddler body. I took special note of your thick hands, and large feet, your soft tan skin, and perfectly round little pop belly. I looked at your arms and how big and strong they are with impressive muscle definition. I looked at the blonde peach fuzz all down your back and inhaled that smell that only little boys produce. I studied your mouth and kissable lips as you told me all about your dreams to go to Disneyland again. And I admired your lashes as they are long and thick and naturally curl perfectly on their own. You Preston Robert Hughes are perfect. You are my everything. Everything I ever dreamed of and wanted in a little boy. You are sweet, funny, busy, wild, and naughty beyond description. But you are mine!
Even though you are a daddy's boy and obsess over your papa, I know I'm still number one! :) You love your mama. Always remember you are loved by all, especially your little brother. He looks up to you more than you will ever know.
