I Love Watching You Play
I love watching you play.
I love seeing the little gears turning inside of
your head as you discover new things and
take yourself on fun adventures.
I love seeing who you will decide to be today.
A chef. A firefighter. A veterinarian. A builder. A parent. A teacher.
A hairstylist. A doctor. A pilot. A boat captain. A superhero…
I love listening to the certainty of possibility in your tales.
You are not wishing for or imagining anything. Your story
is reality, unfolding right now. It is all happening as you create it.
I love watching you play because my wish is for you
to have everything you want out of this life. And, as
you are playing, your every wish is coming true.
If you can think it…It is yours.
That is the world I want for you.
A world where you are invincible.
From the moment I knew you were arriving, I dreamt
about everything that you would be. The things you
would do and who you would become.
I still have dreams about everything you are going to achieve.
Sometimes, I think I know better than you.
That my dreams for you are better than yours.
But, the best part of being your mom, is every time that
you prove me wrong. Every time that you show me you are
going to do it your way – that you are the one who knows best.
Because then, I get to sit back and watch you play some more.
I get to see you creating the story of your life…
The very best story of all.
