My dearest first born,
Thank you for being patient with me. Everything you are experiencing is new to me too.
Thank you for being the “tester” in our family. The one we learn with. The one that has tried all breastfeeding positions, all nappy/bottle/formula/wipe brands, routines and discipline strategies.
Thank you for keeping me grounded. For always reminding me of the important things in life.
Thank you for making us slow down to stop and experience life through your eyes.
Sorry for the times we let you down. For the times we didn’t understand what you needed.
Sorry for all the mistakes we have made. For all the times we thought we knew what was best, for the times we didn’t listen.
You and I have something special. We will always be on this rollercoaster ride together.
All our firsts will be experienced together and you will teach me more about life than I will ever be able to show you.
So my dearest first born,
Thank you for making me a mother. My life would not have turned out the way it has if it wasn’t for you.
Sending you love,
MBS
