How you stretch me and touch my heart in a way that only a little boy can do to his mama! You are growing into a fine young man with endless energy and zeal for life. I call you my little warrior. You love to pray. Over the last few months, whenever one of us in the family isn't feeling well, on your own you come over to us, put your hand on us and start praying. It is sweet and amazing. The other day you did this in the car and then immediately followed up with, "hey mama, look at the handcuffs I just made." You are a boy through and through!
At four years old now, you are loving all things related to tools, machines, Legos and weapons. You love to be outside on the tractor or helping daddy on the farm, which thrills him. And like most little boys your age, you love ninja turtles and superheroes, especially Spiderman. You've never seen either movie or show, yet you're still completely enthralled. And Spiderman underwear is a must.
You have gotten a bit picky in your food choices, which has made for not so fun meal times. We are hoping this is just a season! You still love fruit, many raw vegetables and all dairy products. So, I guess it's not so bad.
You won't go to sleep without Carla, our beagle, in your room with you. You have really had a hard time adjusting to your sisters getting to share a room and you not having someone in yours. Frequently we have found you curled up at the end of one of your sisters' bed asleep. It's sweet, but it usually means that someone didn't sleep well! You also love when I sing you Swing Low, Sweet Chariot at night. Our version involves dancing though!
You have an incredibly tender heart even with all of these warrior-like qualities. We love that about you. We are incredibly proud of you, but you are growing too fast. Please slow down my baby boy! You hate that I still call you that.
All our love,
Momma and Daddy
Here are some pictures from your Ninja Turtle birthday party.
Love you, bud! P.S. December 21 is your birthday. I am just a bit behind!
