What a joy you are to have as a son! Despite the fact that you are a true little boy now, you will always be my baby. You have a zest for life and people that is contagious. And there is no doubt you are a boy through and through with your love for all things that move, dig, can be taken apart, knocked down into a zillion pieces and resemble any sort of weapon (you must have been born with this warrior-like spirit!).
Yet, you are so tender-hearted and thoughtful under all those swinging swords and warrior faces. This past week you told random people in the store "Merry Christmas!" as they walked by. You are not one to hold back hugs and kisses from anyone. You ask people how they are doing without being prompted, you check on your sister when she's crying, you just care for people!
You still sleep with a paci and night-night, which we haven't even attempted to take away because I didn't want to do that and potty train at the same time. Well, potty training is taking much longer than I thought, so looks like you're the lucky one and will have that paci for a while longer. Seriously though, you don't care if you have "stuff" in your pants and will continue to play til I make you stop. Ugh. You'll get it eventually!
You are a good eater with spaghetti being a favorite and pizza being much lower on the list. You eat raw veggies, fruit and would like to start every meal with yogurt! I am so thankful for your openness!
You were meant to live on a farm - you join Daddy on the tractor any chance you can, you often help carry firewood, you are an expert in mud puddle jumping and sandbox creations, and you would live outside if allowed. You also try to wear your batman rain boots anywhere we go!
You look up to your Daddy so much, and I am blessed that he is such an amazing role model. We love you, son, and we love your heart. God has great big plans for you, and we can't wait to see them unfold.
Momma and Daddy
