Baking Thoughts

Dear Kayleigh,

Today, I put you in the Moby so that I could hold you "hands-free" and do some baking. It's finally starting to feel like Autumn around here, and I've been itching to do something pumpkiny.



It worked out wonderfully. You're always happy to be held, and we sang and danced to internet radio while I mixed and measured. It made me wonder how long it will be until you're asking to measure things out and sneaking licks of batter.

One of the songs that played today was "Music of the Night," and it made me think about taking you to see Phantom of the Opera someday. Daddy and I have talked about it before. That was a special gift from my parents when I was a teen, and Daddy and I went to see it the first year we were married. It holds a special place in my heart, and I want to share that with you someday!

But for today, you are just my sweet little Munchkin.

And, oh, how I love you!

Forever and always,
Mom
