Happy fourth birthday, my sweet boy! With each year that passes, I am more and more amazed by you. You are wise beyond your years, sweet and caring like no other and so, so smart. You continue to grow and learn with each new day. In just a few short weeks, you will be completing your first year of pre-school. You learned so much this year and made your first friends that are truly your own. It was a wonderful experience for you and also for Dad and I to watch you grow.
As we celebrate your fourth birthday, things are a bit stressful and uncertain at home. I am seeing first hand just how this is affecting you and I am sorry for that. I wish I could shelter you from the stress filled situations and arguing that you have heard but please know that Dad and I both love you more than you will ever know and will do what is best for you always. We are both trying to do our best to give you everything you deserve!
While you are growing up quickly, part of you remains young at heart, perfectly content to watch Curious George or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV, even though Wild Kratts is a bit more your speed these days. You are still my little guy who loves to read all sorts of books and snuggle before nap time (if you actually take one) or bedtime. Superheros are super cool, especially Spiderman and Batman but you still enjoy Jake and the Neverland Pirates. You are getting better and better at riding your balance bike and I have no doubt you will be hitting homeruns off of your new baseball tee in no time.
Your fierce independence amazes me. You are confident and capable of doing most anything you set your mind to. You get easily frustrated at times when things don't go your way but we are working with you to stay calm and when you do, you are able to accomplish awesome things. Your emotions get the best of you sometimes but mine do too. I promise to do my best to remain steady and collected in order that you may learn by my example.
I can not wait to see the growth that this year will bring for you. That big brain of yours is a sponge and I hope it never stops soaking up "life"! I have no doubt that you will have another amazing year at pre-school and will likely be reading before your next birthday. My wish for you is that you never loose your zest for life and that you always remain caring and empathetic. You are a special gift to all who know you and I am so proud to call you my son.
I love you, buddy!
Love always,
Mom.
My little birthday buddy!
