Now you are 4...note to my baby boy...






As you say...today is your "happy day!"
Wow, I can't believe it, you are 4!! These 4 years have gone so fast. I remember all the details from when you were born. I thought you would be just like your big brother but, you are your very own person. You came along fast and with determination and that is how you have grown up.

You are not a patient child, I like to say that you do not get that from me but, we all know the truth. You have taught me to be more patient and I will try to teach you the same. You are our firecracker, our stubborn boy, our joy. You can have quite a temper, something else we will work on. You have calmed down a lot over these 4 years (especially this last year). You are also sweet, funny, cute, appreciative and smart. You love your gebbi (spaghetti) and burgers. You like to do everything on your own and like to say "I do it by myself".

One of my favorite parts of the day is putting you to bed...reading books, telling you a story and singing "ABC's" and "Twinkle, Twinkle". I love how you lay on me, holding my arm to keep me with you longer and how you say "not yet!" before I close the door so you can get comfy in your bed. I love how you run to me when I pick you up at preschool.

I love hearing about all the things you learn and all the things you think about. I can't wait to see what "4" will bring and to watch you grow some more. I know you will always want to be "bigger" like your brother but, I hope you enjoy being "little" for a while more.

You will always be my "baby boy" and I will love you forever. Happy Birthday - enjoy your "happy day"!
