Nothing like a 3 year old
Mar 15th
I lost my mother when I was 9 years old. Unfortunately I have very little memories of her. One of my strongest memories of my mom is her sitting in our living room with the rest of the family. I don’t know what I was doing but she looked at me and asked “Can you go back to being 3 years old?” I walked away and came back walking on my knees saying “look mom, I’m three”.
I now have a 3 year old. He is the silliest 3 year old I know. He is the funniest 3 year old I know. He is the most thoughtful 3 year old I know. Yes he can drive me crazy, but he can make me laugh so hard I cry. If I’m sick he wants to be by my side helping me feel better. He really is one of my joys and comforts in my life
I don’t know who I was when I was 3, but I watch him, especially when he’s being silly and I think about what my mother said to me. It makes me wonder if I was just as funny as Noah. If I made her laugh and smile like he makes me.
Dear Swim Suits

Dear Swim Suits
I’m sorry I had to put you in that drawer but I just couldn’t handle the way you guys kept looking at me when I walked by. I know it doesn’t seem right that I buy the two of you, take you to Hawaii and wear you like every day… and for the last few months you’ve just been laying on the drying rack. I guess I should have explained to you that we live in Washington and swim suits are only called for a couple weeks out of the year here. Trust me, it’s not you… it’s me… or where we live. I promise you will see the light of day again, unfortunately in Washington the light of day doesn’t always mean sunlight.
Take care,
Kelly
P.S. One of you will get to come out this week… the boys start swim lessons. So whichever one of you can cover me up the best will get to come out. Good luck.
