Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / December 2005Love Letter From Son To Mom Suggestions
Hi, My wife and I are both 45 (married 23 years) and just had our fist child (a son who is 6 month old). I want to write a touching letter from my son to my wife for her christmas card. She is an incredibly loving mom and wife, and I want this first family christmas to be special. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to write ... Thanks - Ron > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks - Ron Nice idea, but it sounds too artificial/cutsie to me. I wouldn't write it from your son. I would write as her husband, telling her what a wonderful wife and mother she has been. A letter to your own mother would probably be very well received also. I'd also write a letter to your son, to be read when he's quite a bit older, sharing your joy at his birth and your hopes and dreams for him. If you do this every year at Christmas, it will be a terrific diary for him to trace his growth and development. gloria p > I'd also write a letter to your son, to be read when he's quite a bit > older, sharing your joy at his birth and your hopes and dreams for him. > If you do this every year at Christmas, it will be a terrific diary for > him to trace his growth and development. > > gloria p Gloria, you know that Beck is heavy into the crapbo -- I mean, SCRAPbooking scene. She is very talented and creative and wears her heart on her sleeve. She gets lots of wonderful feedback from her online friends about her work -- always about the journaling that accompanies her layout pics. It's been her habit since The Little Pill was born to jot down milestones and funnies on her wall calendar. When she rolled over, when she smiled, the first time she said No, the first time she blamed her grandfather for giving her the pop, her favorite books, people, foods, ad infinitum. They are great memory joggers for her writing. WhatsHisNameHisNameIsJamie made a smarmy remark about her obsession with the project - and My Girl set him straight. And I backed her up when she mentioned the conversation to me. To wit: I have a gazillion questions about myself when I was little. And I can't get answers from anyone. When she's 10, 30, or 60, this kid will have a visual record of what she was like as a sprout. She will read what her mom hoped for her life. I envy it. It is the most wonderful thing my daughter is doing for her daughter.

You do realise you have spoilt me forever, don't you ;-)? I really *can't* come across scrapbooking stuff anywhere without either thinking 'crapbooking' or 'Barb', though mostly I'll think both :-D. No, I don't crapbook myself, I am into other crafts :-). I do visit a lot of craft shops, and there's where I come across loads of crapbooking stuff ;-).

And my Beck's work isn't crap - she's had some of her stuff published three times in a couple different publications - but I love to tease her with the word, What's she's doing for her daughter is a wonderful gift for the twerp when she's about 15, 30, 40, or 60. The Little One will have not just pictures of what she looked like, but recountings of her personality and character development along the way. I have lots of questions about "what was I like?" at any given age and no one in my family can give me the kind of answer that Sam will have for herself. And what a racket!! OMG OMG OMG! Always something new and always the fear that you'll be viewed as "ordinary" (GOD FORBID YOU SHOULD BE ORDINARY) by your peers if you're not current or even ahead of the curve. She's got a bloody fortune in supplies. And just spent the big bucks for a digital SLR besides. Heaven help her if she decides to get really really interested in photography, ;-) She's good at it.

She must be so good at the scrapbooking. There are *so* many publications here, there must be many more in the US. With the scrapbooking being so popular there must be a lot of people who send in work hoping to be published. For Beck's work to be published not just once, but repeatedly, it must be outstanding. > but I love to tease her with the word, I know what you mean. I have a friend that's thinking about taking up scrapbooking. Already I am teasing her. > What's she's doing for her daughter is a > wonderful gift for the twerp when she's about 15, 30, 40, or 60.

Although the beading is. I'm not at all used at having a hobby that is so popular. I've never been one to follow trends, always try to do things differently than others. > She's got a bloody fortune in supplies. I'm very close to have 400 craft books, and my supplies? I don't think I even know what I have :-). I could open my very own shop, I swear. > And just spent the big bucks for a digital SLR besides. > Heaven help her if she decides to get really really interested in > photography, ;-) She's good at it. Well, with you as her mother, what else could she be but good at what she does ;-)? SignatureMo > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks - Ron Congratulations and WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???m * "-) A June baby? June what? Mine's on June 25 - same day Custer got his last haircut at The Little Bighorn. This isn't what you want to hear, but if you want to write a letter make it from you, not your wee baby and make sure there's something that's measured by karat or carat to go with it. (*^;^*) (We watch out for each other here.) A letter from the babe is too hokey. Babies can't talk or write -- their pronunciation sucks and their handwriting -- well, they can barely hold a pencil. Have you opened the college fund yet? Get on it! Time's a'wasting. There are options that don't incur taxes. OK, what to write. Hmmmmm. . . . .How about, "Merry Christmas, Love. With the birth of our precious Homer, our lives are changed forever. To demonstrate the depth of my love for you, I'll be his sole caretaker for 12 hours every other Saturday starting next week, while you catch up with your non-mommy life -- even though you will be his mommy forever more." Something like that. It might be worth your while. "-) Oh, and don't do it on a computer, either. Do it by hand. Black ink, cream colored paper. Look, you asked, ok? And I've eaten too much nut brittle . . . . * I was born to older parents so I view the excitement from another spot.
