Dearest Elliot!
The theme of this letter for your 7 months is about friendship and people you can count on.
One thing your daddy and I want you to know is that we will always be here for you. You can always count on us whenever you need to confide in us about anything!
BUT Mommy and Daddy aren't silly. We know that there will come a time or times in your life where you feel you can't come to us about something. It happens. We get it! We've been there!
For these times in your life, we have selected Godparents for you.
And just like they are there for YOU, they've also been there for me and your daddy.
Your Uncle Joe and I have known one another since I was 14 years old! We met in 1996! Uncle Joe and I have a great friendship and he holds a lot of the characteristics and qualities we would like you to possess as you grow into a boy and eventually a man.
Uncle Joe will be there for you to help you understand confusing relationships and he can fix almost any problem with a joke and a smile. Uncle Joe is awesome. And you two get along really well. For only being seven months old, you've got this guy wrapped around your finger!
Now... Auntie Jen! Oh Auntie Jen! Auntie Jen is tons of fun!! Her and Uncle Joe together make a great pair of resources. Auntie Jen and I have been friends since college. We met in 2000 and she's got the Bible down! So she can not only give you practical advice, but spiritual as well. She is going to help you mold into a true man.
You're not going to be slacking off on learning manners and how to treat a woman when it comes to her. I also venture to guess that among all the lessons she will teach you, you will probably learn to love literature with her as well. Auntie Jen can make you better in an instant. She's got a glowing smile and gives the bestest hugs. In fact, one of your favorite things to do is to have some snuggles with your Auntie Jen.
These two people are two very special people in your life.
Daddy and I want you to know that you'll always be able to rely on us and your family. We chose Auntie Jen and Uncle Joe to guide you through the ups and downs of your life. They're amazing people and they love you, just as much as we love you.
You are my love and my joy!
Love,
Mommy!
