Dear Hollis,
Happy 14 months! We love you dearly. However, I'm sure daddy would be much more appreciative if you let him sleep in peace instead of jumping on his head when its time for your nap.
Also, Mommy was very proud of you yesterday when I said "gentle" and you very nicely petted your friend Hadlee on the head. It shows we are making progress. But, next time it might be better if you were "gentle" INSTEAD of slapping her, versus being "gentle" after you've slapped her. Thank you, darling.
Sincerely,
Mommy
p.s. dried fruit does not = grass seed. our rug does not = the lawn. and its not funny when mommy gets on to you for this.

Dear Hollis,
I know I snickered when you wiped your hands on me yesterday. It was really cute, and I'm glad that you think mama's dress makes a good napkin. I've waited for as long as I can remember to be the human napkin, to be so valuable to a tiny little person that I could not only provide the food but also clean it up with nothing other than what clothing I had on. It was endearing.
But please, never do it again.
Love,
Mama

Past letters
these three letters, posted on a thread on www.gentlechristianmothers.com, were my inspiration
dear chicken noodle,
you're looking especially noodley today. i bet if you pinch daddy's nipples, milk will squirt out...
forever yours,
mamamamamamama
dear noodle,
climbing on mommy is ok. jumping on mommy is not.
also, there is no milk in my belly button.
also, my belly button is not a nursing toe hold.
lovingly,
mamamamamamama
ps. could you please also get a scrape or bruise on your chin, just so that when i take you for easter portraits, it will be even with your nose, forehead and both cheeks? :]
hey chicken nugget,
mommy was really proud of you when you sucked down that panera lemonade without even making a sour face. you seemed to like it, so i let you have a couple more sips. i'm really REALLY sorry it gave you diaper rash :( i love you.

Letters to Hollis
Dear Hollis,
I'm making a new blog of letters to you. By the time you learn to read, who knows if blogging will still be "the thing." But right now, every time I get out a pen and paper, you try to eat it, so this seems to make more sense. I love you.
Mama.
