Love Letters to Kyllian From His Momma

Kyllians is my fourth child.  During each pregnancy I wondered if I would have enough love in my heart to love this new one as much as the others.  Doesn’t a heart reach compacity at some point?   Like clockwork, when I held this little angel my heart,  like the Grinch,  grew in size.  Yes,  my children drive me crazy and yes I am very tired but it’s the tired like at the end of a workout when you are exhausted but feel great inside.   In the evening when they are all laying over me in the bed and I am bone weary, I lay in the presence of peace and contentment.

  • Boys, is it just me or do you boys see anything wrong with our house?  Kyllian, No, it’s just you.
  • After eating I gave Kyllian a big hug  and said to him I hope I didn’t smell to much like salsa.                                                                                      His response, “Nope, you smell like Love.”
  • Me: You are to big for a baba anymore.                                                               Kyllian:  No I’m not I’m just the right size.
  • Me:  Your jacket is mine now because you threw it down.                       Kyllian “It’s not yours you are to big for it.”

    • Kyllian.  Jesus takes out your heart because it’s treasure.  He fixes for you and puts back. 
    • Me, “Kyllian where to dolphins live? ” Kyllian, “the ocean” Me, ” where do cheetahs live? ” K “the grass. ” Me, “where do deers live? ” K “the forest” Me, “where do lions live? ” K “the cage”.
    • “Kyllian, you are a baby, only babies wear diapers.”  K, “No I not baby I big boy!”  Me “No you aren’t a big boy because you still wear a diaper and won’t potty train.  Tell me one other person that is a big boy that wears diapers?”   K, “ME!  I’m a big boy and I wear diapers!” 
  • “Picture me mamma.   Mamma please picture me! ” Kyllian called to me when I walked into our home after a photoshoot.  He had heard me come in,  ran down the stairs, peered over the gate and when he saw I had my camera in my hand he had started to call out to picture him.
