Food For Thought

Hi Hunter,

I have been talking to a lovely new friend and she brought something up which now I can't stop wondering.

Do you get Coco Pops in heaven?

Cooper looooooooooves his Coco Pops, "pops" which he is allowed as a treat for breakfast on weekends.
I don't want you to miss out so I think you should ask for pops. But Mummy says only on the weekend. They're not a healthy breakfast but it's nice to have a treat.

Also, as long as your teeth get an extra long brush you can have some pebbles if you've behaved yourself when taken to do the grocery shopping. I'm positive you're just like Cooper (and Daddy) and always deserving of something yummy.

It is Daddy's birthday soon. Only two weeks before yours. That's a scary thought! You are nearly one! My big boy.
We need to think of something really special for Daddy. He deserves the best.

Our lives were so different a year ago. We were such different people back then, especially Mummy. You were still in my tummy, beating me up from the inside. I was so anxious to meet you. I also remember Daddy saying that you were his actual birthday present, coming a little bit late. I'd forgotten that until now. That's a nice thought.

I have lots of memories about you before you were born. You loved to stretch out, I'd have a big foot poking out on one side and elbow on the other. I used to have to push one side back in and Daddy would growl at me and say that you could stretch if you wanted. I also used to think that you are so much like your Daddy because you were constantly drinking too much water too quickly and getting the hiccoughs! Dad and Cooper do that too.

I got a canvas print done of You, Me and Daddy. This one is to go on the wall in our bedroom, and I will order (shh don't tell Daddy) one of you and Cooper for his room and also a bigger one, I think the sand butterfly, for in the lounge.
I want you everywhere in the house! Everywhere I go I want to remember a different moment I had with you.

Your little brother, Arlo, is going to arrive in about 9 weeks (I'm hoping for more like 10 or even 11 weeks). So Mummy is starting to feel quite stressed about that. I can't wait to meet him but I'm also very worried. Everything is going fine, except for Mummy getting sick a lot. I finish work at the end of the week so hopefully I can keep healthy after that.

Anyway my love, I had better go and get some work done.

I love you :-)

Don't forget to ask for coco pops on the weekend!
