Dear Campbell, Drama. Everything is drama. Today I discovered though that if I could wait you out for about 15 minutes you would be fine. Those 15 minutes seemed like a week. I’m glad that no one ever says parenting should be easy. I’m in my 3rd full week of work. I’m exhausted. I miss [...]

Dear Campbell, I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write you.  Life has been incredibly busy, but at least three times a day you do something and I think, “I really need to record what just happened.”  You are constantly changing, growing, developing new habits, and getting older.  It is simultaneously [...]

Dear Campbell, I have started to experience true summer break…at least what I expect summer break to be.  You know, lots of family time, adventures, running errands, naps, riding bikes, leisurely doing chores, etc.  It is completely wonderful! Today you got up around 7 and we ate breakfast, played, read books, put your presents in [...]

Dear Campbell, If you were able to comprehend “best days” today would have been your best day EVER. You were so joyful and enthusiastic today-which was funny because I was sick and Daddy worked all day. You let us sleep in today (sweet!) and woke up around 8:15. Daddy got you up (which is your [...]

Dear Campbell, Daddy was real sick today.    He had a fever and stayed home from work.  Tomorrow he quits his job to be a stay at home dad and pursue his photography with reckless abandon.    Life as we know it is about to change dramatically.  And I couldn’t be more excited! It is [...]

Dear Campbell, I am so sorry it has been over a week since I last wrote you a letter!  SO MUCH has happened in the last week, it’s almost crazy to realize not only how busy we have been but how, also, much you have grown!  I affectionately call you my little genius (though I [...]

Dear Campbell, We have been kicked out of the bedroom because Daddy had work done on his teeth today.  He is a lot of pain and you are kind of a monster-which isn’t a super great combination. You are kind of mobile.  You can’t get into crawling position-you either end up on your tummy or [...]

Dear Campbell, Your love for Inu is unparalleled.  I find it sweet and hilarious simultaneously.  If Inu is in the room with you, you scoot and dance for joy!  If she is close to you, you chuckle in your wonderful “grown up” sounding way!  Yesterday she was sitting within arms reach and you touched her [...]

Peas

Dear Campbell, At dinner tonight I uttered a phrase that I am sure will be said many, many more times.  It was: If you want ______________, you have to eat your peas first. love, mommy PS You actually really like peas, you just happen to like cottage cheese lots more.

Dear Campbell, I’m so sorry I haven’t been writing regularly, but-if I could speak frankly-you are currently not at your easiest phase in life.  You are wiggly and difficult to please.  You are constantly pulling things off tables and desks.  If the computer is within reach, you are going for it.  You have no idea [...]
