Five

Dear G,

I have stewed and stewed about how I would acknowledge this special day. Turning 5 is such a huge milestone! So many things have shaped you into the person you are and the person you are to be! I hope I have led you in the right direction. I know that I still have a lot of learning to do as your parent but I am so proud to be your mom and on this journey with you. Since, I could not come up with anything creative I am just going to make a list of some the things that melt my heart.

I love...

• that you love Jesus and you think he is the boss of everyone including me
• how you protect your sisters at the park and other play areas
• that you hug and kiss your sisters when we pick you up from school
• holding hands with you when we walk into a store
• watching you play with your sisters

Things you can do now...

• just learned how to ride a bike without training wheels
• recite the Lord's Prayer and Hail Mary
• write your name and on the verge of reading
• whiz on the computer and video games
• snap

Things we can work on together...

• more variety in your food choices
• patience when things don't work out the first time
• picking up after yourself more frequently
• sleeping in past 7:30 :)
• watching less Spongebob

I love you, Bubba! Happy 5th birthday.

Love,

Mommy
