He definitely loves his momma! Don't worry... the first kid always gets the stricter version of their parents, lol! Man, I was so uptight about everything with Johnny. With my little girl though... eh. I'm way relaxed, lol!
Oh I know just what you mean, my oldest I am the same way with. I am strict though with them all (the 3 of them) but I'm sure more so with the oldest. He clearly adores you though and is so loved I love that you are writing him such special notes with pictures of you guys together!
