Gobbles


I had this thought at church yesterday that I wanted to write a few letters to little "Freeto"...so here goes.

Dear 3 year old,

Don't grow up so fast. Keep your short little legs reaching for the ground, but don't let them touch quite yet. I'm not ready for it. I need time to stand still, so you and I can hold hands forever.

I love our secret handshake. 3 squeezes (I Love You) and a kiss on the hand.

Your "gobbles" are green, your favorite color. Have a favorite color. Know yourself.

Drink brown drinks (slurpees) and let the ice run down your face. It'll wipe off.

If you turn the "O" upside down in the word LOVE, its still an O. And I will love you upside down and backward.

Love,
Mom
