Dear Teenage Reid and Aiden,
There used to be a time when you would leap out of your booster chairs and sprint over to help me and Daddy put the dishes away.
You loved snuggling with me. (Sometimes your goal was to steal my phone.)
You were very interested in learning how to drive. And loved pushing all the buttons. Come to think of it, you like to push Mama's and Daddy's buttons right now, too.
You also knew when it was time to switch seats, so you could share driving time.
Reid was especially excited to discover he could operate the door handle, even when he couldn't reach the pedals.
Aiden did his best to talk me into handing over the keys for a real drive. Please!!!
Reid had a different tactic: Hide in the back of the van, so Mama can't make you go inside for a nap.
Don't grow up too fast, little guys!
Love, Mama
