To My Sweet 2-Year Old


Dear Kason,

I hope you always run across the room to give me giant cheek-squeezing kisses. I hope you always want to hold your Mommy's hair and snuggle in my lap. I hope you remember how much you love your rope, your cowboy hat, your tractors, any sports balls, and your horses. I hope you remember how much you love to read books. I hope you keep your deep greenish/blueish eyes and gorgeous olive skin. I hope you stay tall your whole life. I hope your hair stays dark just like your Daddy's. I hope you remember how much you love singing your nursery songs. Music will bless your life. I hope you never forget your slow motion run and how you stay close to your Mommy's leg when we are around others. I hope you remember how much you love the scriptures and saying family prayers. Always do these daily. I hope you remember your love for the simple things like the color green and anything in a triangle shape. I hope you remember how much you love the outdoors and take advantage of the great sense of peace you can get from being in nature.

I hope you always stay the thoughtful boy you are, the one that never rushes into anything without thinking things through. I hope you remember how quickly you forgive and how deeply and loyally you love. I hope you remember that it's okay to be quiet and not in the middle of the crowd like you prefer. I hope you remember how smart you are and continue to try to learn from observing those you look up to. I hope you remember how much you love and protect Kolay, how you ask for her every time she's not in the room and are always worried she will get hurt. Always stay close to her; she loves you more than you know. I hope you remember to be a gentleman and keep saying please and thank you like you do now. I hope you're never afraid to be who you are.

I hope you remember that you're happiest with your family. I hope you remember how much you love your grandparents and great grandparents, so you can learn as much as you can from them. You have been blessed with some of the best grandparents and great grandparents. I hope you remember how much you love your aunts, uncles and cousins and always ask about them throughout the day. Stay close to them because they will be some of your closest friends.  I hope you remember to keep being a good listener and how you always love to listen to his Mom and Dad just to make them smile. I hope you remember how much you trust your parents. We will always protect and love you. I hope you remember how much you admire your Dad and wants to copy everything he does. He loves you so much and will always be your advocate throughout your whole life. I hope you remember how much you love your mom. I will stand by you as you stumble, celebrate, make mistakes, and accomplish your dreams.

I love you to the moon and back Kason Kolt Piquet.

Love,
Mommy
