You are, by far, the best son I could ever hope to have. You are so full of energy and life. You were the perfect baby....always very content and loving. You have always been so curious and ready to try new things. You love to be outside and explore all the world has to offer. You look a lot like your daddy, but have so many of my strong personality traits. We get along so well, but are also great at pushing eachother's buttons!
You were forced to grow up WAY too fast when your sister was born. You spent far too many days inside hospital rooms, hotel rooms and several other places that were not ideal for an 18month old. BUT you managed to make "friends" with all of the doctors, nurses, social workers, etc and charm your way into their hearts. And even through all of that, you have become the BEST big brother in the world. You are always there to help your sister and you are her biggest cheerleader. Your compassion amazes me everyday and I'm so proud of the person you are. Addie is the luckiest girl in the world to have you as a big brother!
You love to cuddle. You are happy when you are "comfy and cozy" in someone's arms. You love to love.... you give the BEST hugs and kisses and make everyone around you feel special. You are so very thoughtful. You LOVE to plan birthday parties for other people and spend so much time picking out the "perfect" gift for the people you love. I am always amazed by your generosity and compassion. We often argue over who loves who more!
You are SO smart.... sometimes a little TOO smart!!! You have quite the little mouth on you, which sometimes gets you into trouble and sometimes makes us laugh so hard that you get right out of trouble. You say the most clever and amazing things. Your vocabulary consists of words that we often have no clue where they came from. You love to use big words and, more times than not, use them correctly! You are always giving us interesting facts and opinions about things. You love to read, practice your new words and do math!
You are good at just about everything you try to do. You became quite a soccer star and gymnast this year! You were skiing down the slopes, without falling, less than an hour after you put skiis on for the FIRST time! I am amazed at how quickly you pick things up and how determined you are to do so.
You are such a happy kid! It is impossible not to smile when we are around you. You are quite the charmer and know just how to get your way almost all the time. It is IMPOSSIBLE to stay mad at you! You are a little shy at times, but love to make friends with both kids and adults. You love having someone to play with and get along so well with others.
Speaking of attitude.... you also tend to be a bit (I mean A LOT) stubborn at times! You can do it all and don't need any help. We often argue over your stubborness because we are both so set in our ways. I'd say we are pretty much tied with who ends up winning the battle!!
You are my little helper. I can't cook a meal without you wanting to be right next to me, on your little stepstool, helping me out...and you are a good helper. Not that I'm complaining... I LOVE the time we spend together baking cakes and cooking dinners.
I am so proud of all you have accomplished in your short life. You are truly amazing and I LOVE YOU with all of my heart! Happy Preschool Graduation!!!!
Love, Mom
