Happy birthday, C!


Dear C,

     Happy birthday, sweet boy!  We are so glad you are a part of our family.  Our lives would not be the same if you were not a part of them, and we are so grateful to be your mommy, daddy, and big brother.
     You are our resident mermaid expert and a creative inspiration.  You encourage us to think outside the box and have fun!  We love seeing you play "baby", "doggie", and "dinosaur".  You are quite the actor.
     You and I both know that while some might call you stubborn, you are merely principled.  :)  Peer pressure isn't going to be a problem for you!  We admire your stick-to-it-itveness and your determination once you've made up your mind about a situation.  (Remind me of this letter the next time you decide to wear shorts in thirty degree weather, okay?)
     Your compassion for others and love for God amazes us.  You look out for your brother and your friends, and just today you melted my heart when you looked at me and said, "Mommy, thank you for giving me a party and buying stuff for me to give my friends".
     It's so hard for us to believe you are four years old today!  In many ways, it seems like just a few days ago you were a baby.  Even though you are a "big boy" now, you will always be our baby, and we will always be your mommy, daddy, and brother.
     We love you so much, C!  You are a wonderful blessing and we are so glad we get to watch you grow into the man God intends for you to be!


Love,
     Mommy, Daddy, and P
