An Open Letter to Jack on his 6th Birthday

Happy birthday, my sweet boy!

I can’t believe you’re 6 years old already.  What a wonderful six years it has been.

You are such a sweet and special boy.  There are so many reasons I love you but here are a few.

• You get wild and crazy and talk gibberish and run around like a crazed monkey.
• When you are trying to be especially sweet or well mannered, you talk with a British accent.
• You still love to snuggle with your mama.
• You love animals.
• You are patient with your troublesome little brother and crazy-making big sisters and even like them a lot of the time.
• You make darling drawings.
• You love books.
• You’re not above doing "girl stuff" if it’s fun.
• You’re generous.
• You love to cook, do crafts and play games.
• You ask to "do kindergarten."
• Your favorite color is green and you love being outside.
• You collect metal pieces to build your Alicia-bot (the full size robot mama you are building to take over my other jobs so you can have more time with me).
• You make me smile.
• You are dramatic, entertaining and funny.
• You are very smart.
• You try to do the right thing.
• You have a good heart.

I love you with all my heart, my sweetie pie.  Please always let me ruffle your hair and give you kisses every once in a while even though you’re too old for it now. 

You bring us all so much happiness and so many smiles.  Thank you so much for being my little big boy.

I love you!

Love, Mama

 

Happy 6th Birthday, Sweetie!
I hope you had a wonderful day!
