Rockford has the habit of handing you a car and saying, “You’re _____”. Interestingly enough, he hands you a car that holds some relation to how he views you… if you pay close attention. Let me break it down for you based on what cars Rockford has handed people.
Picture this mommy, you and your family are seated in a restaurant and you have an infant latched on to you feeding and your toddler that just pooped. You look to your husband for relief and he gladly escorts the toddler to the bathroom…only to return seconds later. “What happened?” you ask.
I recently picked up a new book that I started reading, Parenting with Love and Logic : Teaching Children Responsibility by Foster Cline, M.D. and Jim Fay. I bought it used on Amazon.com. It seems this book has been around the block a few times by the “for sale” sticker on the back, the letter written inside the front cover by a loved one and the fact that it’s missing the paper cover. I guess that’s why I lucked out and got it for $0.43.
It seems this book has made its rounds and made it home to me. I couldn’t help but read the inside handwritten letter that I can only imagine was written by the father of the book recipient’s baby. I know this was written as a personal note, but it became public domain when they sold it. It is a lovely note and I wanted to share it with you.
I decided to write this letter to my sons today because I wanted them to know just how special they are. Today we finally brought down the storage bin that contained my older son’s clothes for ages 12 -18 months. These clothes were to also be Rocco’s when he grew old enough or big enough to fit into them…that moment has come.
