My dearest only child

You and I went out to lunch today, just the two of us. I want to remember this always as it was one of my favorite lunch dates with you. We went to Chili's and I ordered us some enchilada soup, a turkey sandwich and some veggies. You were so good the whole time! You said "thank you" to our waiter every time he brought us something. You ate all your veggies and were so well mannered the entire time. We sat and talked about everything, our food, your crayons, the doggies we saw on the way in. As we left I asked you if you enjoyed your lunch and you said "Yes! Thank you mommy". I can't believe you are not yet two and you can be such a little gentleman! I was so proud of you today. My little man. I hope you enjoy this time being an only child as much as I do, however short lived it may be. I hope you will always want to talk to me about anything, I hope you will always eat your veggies and mind your manners. I hope that one day, when you are a man, you will take your mommy out to lunch sometime, just you and me.

I love you,

Mommy
