Dear Cody,
I should have thought of doing this five years ago, but I didn't. I have tried to document your life in so many ways. Writing down things daily, pictures, videos, blogs, status updates. Time has a funny way of getting away from you. Which you will find out for yourself someday.
I do hope you will take the time to read these. I am sure some of them will be embarrassing, and others will be boring, but I wish my mother had done something like this for me. I wonder what made her smile when I was five, ten, fifteen (probably not much!), and so on. Hopefully you will too.
So since we are already five years into your life, I won't bore you with the baby stuff. I have probably already done that, so lets move on.
Today you had school, Mrs. Stuebleck (I'll never get this woman's name right) (and you thought it was hysterical the way I butchered her name all year! :))
You love your stuffed animals, this horse on a stick thing Susan (from my work) gave you. You love your umbrella (spider-man). You are looking forward to trick - or - treating. (though we are not sure yet what you will be. You love the park. (we were fortunate enough to have two with in a few minutes of our house :))
Favorite food - Chicken nuggets/cheesy bread/chips. :)
Favorite shows - Backyardings, Calliu, The Cat in the Hat.
Funniest thing you have said this week:
I went into your bedroom to get your laundry and I see this lump in your bed (which I thought was you.) I called out, "Cody" and you said "Yeah?" from the living room. Puzzled I said, "Oh I thought you were under your covers." You said. "Oh those are my stuffed animals. I didn't want them to see me naked." Too funny.
Well that is all I can think of today. I am going to try so hard to write once a month, if not more.
Know always, that I love you.
Love,
Mommy
