A smile from a child {Dear Squishy/Wordless Wednesday}

February 22, 2012 By Emily 22 Comments

 

 

Dear Squishy,

There are many joys in motherhood, but few are as amazing as the way your child smiles at you.

Your silly smile has brought so much joy into my life. There hasn’t been a day since you were born that I haven’t smiled at something you have done.ย  Whether it was a silly face, a crazy eyed look, or a sweet daddy/son moment, you always bring a smile to my face.

"Smile" "Smile Quotes" "A Child's Smile"Pin It

A smile holds incredible power. It can change your day in an instant. It can spread quickly from person to person. I can make people wonder what in the world you are up to!

Where does a face like this even come from? (Unless you are Michael Jordan...)
Crazy Eyes!

 

Here Comes Crazy!
Silly Mommy and a Messy Face Squishy!

 

Thank you for reminding me the power a smile holds, your smile is my joy.ย  I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to make sure you always have a reason to smile in life!

Xoxxo,
Mama

PS…

How cute are my boys!

"Daddy is Home!" "Welcome Home"
Welcome home Daddy! These two guys are pretty much attached at the hip.

*Dear Squishy is my version of (a less than) Wordless Wednesday where each week I write a letter to my son.

    I borrowed your first few lines and changed it for fatherhood… Beautiful family, God bless!

    There are many joys in fatherhood, but few are as amazing as the way your child smiles at you.

      Thank you Jay. Yes, fatherhood is just as precious and amazing! (Or so my husband says!) Thank you for your kind comment!
