Dear Evan,
Happy 5th birthday, buddy! You are asleep in bed and have been for about an hour after a very busy day and week of fun and celebration. Today we spent the day at the New England Aquarium with Daddy, Logan, Omi and Grandpa Bob. It was Omi and Grandpa's last day here before heading back to Washington. After the aquarium and a nap in the car on the way home, we went pretty much straight to your t-ball game. You say you are having fun playing which I hope you are. I wish I could see it a little more though.
You are an amazing little boy with a vivid imagination. You love to learn and are right on the cusp of being able to read. I think if we worked at it a little bit, you would be reading in no time. You are a sensitive little boy, sometimes a bit too sensitive when things don't go your way, especially when Logan only wants my help and not yours. You love to play outside, exploring and riding your bike, which you just learned to do last week! You love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Raphael is your favorite. You love to create with Legos and are getting really good at creating your own original things. I think you'll be conquering that Erector set in no time. You adore your brother, usually, and are generally very nice to him. You guys have lots of fun together, especially when you add in Danny and Sean.
This last year was a bit of a stressful one for you and I am seeing that reflected in your sensitivity, anxiety about new situations, and "OCD" habits. I hope that this is a short phase for you and that you learn to be more confident and comfortable in the amazing little boy that you are.
I know that I am not always as nice or as patient as I could be and want to be...I am working on that though. Regardless of that, I hope you know just how much Daddy and I love you. We have high expectations of you because we know what an incredible boy you are. You are destined for great things!
I am excited for the end of the school year with so many fun things coming up including your birthday party and pre-school graduation. I am excited for the summer and a little bit sad that you will be starting school in the fall. I will miss you when you are at school but I am excited to see and learn all that you do, through your eyes.
I hope that you know how special you are to so many people, but especially to Daddy and I. I hope that you always love to learn and create and imagine wonderful things. I hope that you continue to grow and achieve and make us proud. We are so proud of you and couldn't ask for anything more...well maybe a bit better listening sometimes... :-)
Happy 5th birthday, pal! I love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Mommy
