HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST BOY IN THE WORLD!
Over the last year you have changed so much. I don't know why we were ever worried about you talking because now you won't ever be quiet. I love listening to you "talk" to everyone on the phone. You call people randomly to ask them questions especially when we are in the car. You are always asking questions, many of which are I have to answer 3 or 4 times. If I don't understand you, you think you need to say it louder for me to understand you.
You still love to play soccer. We go every Friday to play with your team. In January we moved you to the 3-4 year old class. This is a do it yourself type class. Mommy and Daddy sit on the side while you do it "all by myself". The first class was soo hard for Daddy. He wanted you to need him so bad, but you just went ou there like you knew exactly what you were supposed to be doing. Daddy gets involved in most classes to help Coach and because he can't just sit still. Uncle Troy comes to most classes to watch and play, also. Soccer just isn't Mommy's thing, although I love watching and cheering you on.
In the last year, Mommy and Daddy decided you needed to be a big brother. In August we found out we were pregnant. Soon after we found out you were gonna be a big brother to Kendall Breanne. Mommy was very nervous about adding another baby to our family. Everyone tells me you can love each of your babies just as much as the other, but I am afraid I will always love you a little more. I didn't ever want you to feel like you weren't important or that we don't have time for you. We have made sure to talk about your sister and try to explain what's going on. You go to the doctor with mommy everytime. I will never forget the first sonogram. You called her a monster and asked for a brother. All you had done was ask for a sister up until this point. I couldn't stop laughing. These are a couple of pictures you and I had made.
You are always wanting to do what everyone else is doing. You love to wash dishes, help us cook, and help Daddy build things. You can't stand it when you can't help. I am trying to have a little more patience when it comes to letting you do things. Part of me doesn't want you to grow up and part of me wants you to need me. Your favorite saying right now is "I do it all by myself". I am going to need you to need me for a bit longer.
This birthday we decided to go to Pump it Up. I figured you were getting to old to have your party at our house. I am really glad we did it there. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Although, I wonder if the adults had more fun than the kids. You are one little spoiled boy. So many people came to celebrate with us. I am thankful we have so many wonderful friends and family that love you.
You will never know how you have changed my life. I know you will be an awesome big brother and a great helper to me. You continue to amaze me. You love unconditionally and so willingling. I love you more and more everyday!!!
