Dear Matteo,
It's been a while since I wrote, and I know I should do it more often, but it seems that I'm always too tired at the end of the day. However, I couldn't let today pass without writing here because we achieved a major milestone! Tonight, while you were playing with your toy cars and trucks, and I was following you around the room trying to make you finish your dinner, you said MOMMY out of the blue! I was so surprised yet ecstatic because your dad and I have been trying for months to make you say it, and you just didn't seem ready to. You finally said it without any prodding or prompting from me, and I hope I never forget this moment, and the happiness that I feel right now. I guess this is one of those instances why people say parenthood is rewarding. I never thought that hearing you utter that one word could make me feel so complete and fulfilled.
