As we all know, since Tatum was a wee one, we have read out loud for at least 30 minutes per night. Not much has changed now that she is almost ahem…$%&$ ELEVEN! Egads.
Well, we decided to pull out the blog books from the beginning to read nightly…like novels!
Wow. I have so much more “writing” in each book which I so appreciate. We are having a blast remembering. We just published the 21st book. (swallowing hard)
Reviewing these memories together, she can see that from (before even) DAY 1, she has been A.D.O.R.E.D. I had made a promise that every single day she’d be reminded how truly loved she is. I have never let that go! Daily, she is reminded she is a GIFT. A BLESSING.
When you turn 18, Tot, you’ll receive the whole 36 book set. It’s going too fast!
I will say that one thing that we have seen is that she has had digestive issues since day one. Just like her mommy. (again, swallowing hard.) I never wished this upon her, and now we share this malady. Oh, dear Jesus, that you would heal us both of this.
I love you dear Tatum; I’m so grateful that I decided to leave full time teaching so I could walk alongside you in this life.
I’ll always have your back, dearest one.
We are good together, kiddo!
