I wanted to share a couple songs that we wanted to dedicate to you both. I'm sure there will be more down the road where so many songs will be "our songs" but these two stand out for now.
The first one is a sappy song that I, your sappy mother, wanted to share. I heard it when I was pregnant for the first time and would play it for both of you while you were in my belly. I had these headphones I would place on the belly and it transmitted the music to the womb. It was so calming and would relax me instantly. As I heard it, the first thing I would imagine was the moment they would place you in my arms for the first time. That moment when I would see your sweet face for the first time and realize that God granted me the privilege to me your mommy. I just couldn't wait for that moment. And just like that as the song kept playing, my world became peaceful and my heart raced every time with so much anticipation of meeting/kissing your beautiful faces. So please listen to the lyrics and whenever you feel down or miss your momma, listen to this song and remember ALWAYS that you both are my miracles.
This next song is a song both me and your daddy listen to every once in a while. Not because we don't like it. Actually... we LOVE it. But because sometimes we can't handle the emotions!!! Seriously as soon as Mr. George Strait even remotely starts singing and leading to the chorus... We lose it. Bring on the water works.. because it's happening. Your dad is so proud of calling you his boys. I know you know that. He works hard every day for our family. You both are his inspiration every day. This song is just a simple reminder of life evolving between a son and father. Please love him always. There will be arguments and times you may hate him. But please oh please, never doubt his love for you two. Respect him always. Love him always. Cherish him always.
I'm actually sitting here in the computer room typing this and you, Mateo are on my lap. (Nico you are in the room fast asleep with your tush up in the air) Mattie you're wanting so desperately to push the keyboard buttons of course. You just want to be with mommy. You're looking back at me, getting off my lap, getting back on my lap, smiling away, asking me for a cookie even though it's past your bedtime. And you know what... I absolutely love it! I will now be logging off this thing because you are giving me the sad puppy eyes and want me to go lay down with you in bed and sneak in one more episode of Caillou before calling it a night. Who am I to say no to that request?! I can't deny those puppy eyes.
Until next post my loves...
