'ello mum, [I imagine that if Palmer could talk, he'd have an Irish accent.]

This morning, the tall one with the furry face told me that today is Valentine's day. He said that means that I'm supposed to tell you how much you mean to me. Well... that's kind of hard. Let's ignore for a moment the fact that I can't speak your language. Beyond that, it's hard to put into words how much you mean to me.

Let's see... you feed me, clean me, burp me, teach me, sing to me, play with me, read to me, cuddle me, snuggle me, and among other things you put up with my crap, literally. Yeah, without you, I'm pretty much helpless.

I'm sorry that I can't speak your language, yet. I'm trying to get better. You may have noticed that I practice all the time. Thanks for teaching me all those words. I hope that I can get them right soon.

I really want to talk to you. I want to tell you how great of a mom you are. I want to tell you how much I love you. I tried to tell the other one, but he doesn't understand me, either.

Speaking of him, I think you mean a lot to him, too. Not only do you take care of me, but you cook, you clean, you do laundry, and you're always making sure we're taken care of.

He's always telling me to be nice to you. He also tells me that he's proud of you. I'm not sure what that means, but I think he thinks you are doing a good job. I think he likes you.

I like you, too. You're the best mommy I could ever have.

Your favorite son,

palmer


p.s. What's a Valentine's Day?
