dear sweet rawley,
i really can't believe you are FOUR years old already. i'm not sure how that really happened in the blink of an eye.
you have made such tremendous advances this year. i am so proud of you and how well your speech has come along. even in the last few months alone you have just bursted with new vocabulary, expressions and stringing some sentences along. your interests remain in anything that involves music and dancing, singing and being on the move. you love jamming out with the guitar and then say "thanks folks!" when you are finished playing. you love running around with your hands on your shoulders while pulling up the back of your shirt and pretend that you are monkey. you will recite and "read" your Pete the Cat books and it's so wonderful to hear your sweet voice say ALL the words in those books. you have made mom and dad so proud with all you have accomplished this year. it blows me away with everything you are absorbing and doing now. i honestly could listen to your sweet voice all day.
some days you have the kindest heart and make the sweetest gestures. you are so good with your manners, always saying "please" and "thank you". helping mom with brother while dad's away by helping putting both your plates in the sink, putting away clothes in your hamper and sometimes rescuing mamma and finding brother's "buhbee" for me when it's time for bed. you've also recently started helping me bring the groceries in from the car and holding the door open for me. such a sweet gentleman. you can be so sweet and affectionate towards your brother and you get really worried when he's sad or hurt. however, you guys can really get into it by fighting physically or over toys...a lot. the times i catch you guys chasing each other around the house laughing uncontrollably, playing in your playroom together nicely or you reading stories to your brother make my heart melt.
it's been so fun with you these days because you're changing every second and becoming such a grown boy. i love that you're my little buddy and times when we are together just the two of us show me how grown you really are now. i know one day that will probably change and i'm sure it will be changed for the better, but now i'm soaking in this fun new dynamic we have and am so excited to see how much you grow into your own this upcoming year.
i love you so much my sweet boy. happy birthday to my best big boy. we love you so much forever and ever!
love,
your mamma
