the fact that you are now five is way beyond my comprehension. it seems like it was both yesterday and ions ago that i remember your sweet brand new face with your long toes and feet curled up against my arm and your sweet nose nestled against my face as i smelled all your brandnewness. you are now five. you will start kindergarten in the fall and you will be spending more time away from me then you will be with me.
ugh.
can't grasp it yet.
watching you grow and see you at the little boy you are today has been nothing short of amazing to be a part of. you challenge me in so many ways with your stubbornness and ornery antics, but i wouldn't give it up for the world. you are now voicing your own opinions, wants and needs and it makes me laugh so hard at times because you are very adamant in your decisions. for instance just the other night i told you that we were going to read two stories and then you were to fall asleep in your own bed. you seriously told me no thank you, not now because you were still an eagle (meaning you are still in preschool) and that you weren't a rocket yet (meaning the mascot for when you're in kindergarten) and you will sleep there when you are a rocket. i didn't want to argue because it was just so cute how grown up you sounded over something you want nothing a part of (SLEEPING IN YOUR OWN BED).
you have such a sweet and sensitive soul and i love that about you, but there are days where you can antagonize the heck out of your brother or anyone else that you don't want to be bothered by. it baffles me how hot and cold you can be, but those moments that you are so kind and caring over your brother melts my heart and makes me realize you really do love him and protect him if needed.
i know our relationship will always have our ups and downs and i know you will be a teenage boy who's mother totally embarrasses him and you won't want to be around me, but i really hope you will always be that sweet, protective and sensitive boy that i know you are.
i love you my sweet boy. happy fifth birthday!
love,
mom
