lullaby

 (leaving the hospital, two days old)

every night after jammies, stories and songs i softly say to atticus his own lullaby: 

i love you, you know

the most

of all the boys in all the land

i'v never loved anyone more than you

you're the smartest and the sweetest and the cutest and the funniest boy i've ever met

and i love you

and i'll always love you

and i'll always be there for you

no matter what

and i'm so proud of the boy you are

i'm so proud to be your mama

thank you for letting me be your mama

it's the best thing

it's my favorite thing

happy birthday my beautiful TWO-year old boy. i couldn't love you more.
