Wow you are 4 today. I can't believe it. I look at you and it's like i blinked too long and here you are turning 4. i still remember the night before i had you...the moment they laid you in my arms that Sunday afternoon. i remember kissing you and crying... my heart was filled with more love than i knew what to do with... you are the cutest, funniest, little stinker ever... you say the craziest things and make us laugh daily... you do frustrate me. poor boy, you are my first so i am learning with you... we both yell so much. ha i have to work on that... but man i get so frustrated... not because i dont love you but i dont know what to do! ha...
you can be such a grown up boy sometimes too. you talk with a deeper voice and say such intelligent things. you are learning what lying is. i dont like that. you used to be so upfront and honest... you would tattle on yourself! now you lie from time to time... but you dont keep it going long. you laugh and say "i'm just joking"
you love to cuddle and "hold you"... that's still one of your sayings. i will miss it when you say it right. just like all the other things you have learned to say right...
you tell me you want to do school at home one day. :) you tell me i am the best mom in the whole world, even on my worst days. you love to give me hugs and kisses, butterfly and eskimo ones too.
you love to help me when i need it. you love to help with Jackson too...
you love to dance with me. anytime i even attempt to dance while being silly you say "hold my hands and dance with me momma"..
if i hold Jackson you get jealous and say "momma, i never get to hold you"
you are on a huge super hero kick! we spoiled you so much with so many toys for christmas and you love them all. you say "i really appreciate it" or "thank you so much, i really love it"
your smile is just tooooo adorable. when i get upset at you i just cant stay mad. i hate seeing you cry. i dont get on to you for fun though Elijah. i would be doing you an injustice if i didn't make sure you learn how to behave... :) being a parent is not easy!!! but so far you love me and say i am the best so i guess i am doing something right???
your laugh is so cute, you copy people, you tease and make others laugh.
you are growing lately... i can't give you enough food! always hungry... i just wish you were less picky... but i am feeding you what i can! i want you to be big and strong!
you love batman and spiderman right now... you have us call you Bruce Wayne most days and Jackson's name is Jack Bruce... hahaha we dont know why you call him that but it's too cute!
you have the BEST imagination!!!! i pray you never lose it!!!
i love listening to you play. always have always will. you love to wrestle and fight with daddy and with your friend Ethan. he is your newest friend and yall get along great. i am so glad you have a friend your age that you love to be around... him and Addyson are your favorite kids.
you adore Jackson. some days you pick on him and push him around but other days you are so kind to him... if he gets any attention then you get super jealous... it's hard cuz you were my baby for so long before i had Jackson and you dont understand sometimes.
you like things done a certain way.... when you have your rest time at nap time if you hear me in the hallway or i come in the bedroom i have to hug and kiss you again... if i forget you yell "dont forget about hugs and kisses" lol... i get frustrated if i am busy but i always give you hugs and kisses.
you love to watch a movie over and over... it will be the same movie for weeks and then you will switch to another...
last night i made you popcorn and we ate it in bed and you said "why did you make popcorn? because you know i love it?" and i said yes... you gave me a hug...
i'm so blessed to call you mine. some days are rough but we make it through and i will tell you this. i wouldn't trade one rough day for a minute without you.
God made me a mom when He gave me you and I dont know what i would do without you.
i am so thankful to be able to stay home with you... i couldn't bear to say goodbye to you... it's hard enough going to the store without you. i always think of you and can't wait to get back to you...
you have such a great time with your daddy... you make him think you dont ever play alone. lol... i know you miss him most days... but you sure do have fun with him when he is home. :)
he is learning too Elijah, and is trying to teach you everything he can about being a tough boy and growing up to be a strong man... :)
Jackson adores you... he lights up when he sees you... he loves to play with you too... he may bite and pull your hair but it's all out of love... i love watching yall hug and kiss... such a precious sight!!!
you tell me you pray every day for snow. :) i hope Jesus brings you some snow soon. you want to make snow angels. :) you love Christmas and Halloween so much... you wore your batman costume every day for two months! your poor costume is worn out...i love going to get the mail with you in it and having the moms at the bus stop say how awesome it is to have Batman taking care of our neighborhood... :)
This was a crazy year for you... adjusting to a new brother, being sick and diagnosed with HSP... Elijah, i have never been so scared in my life, but thank the good Lord you are fine!!! my healthy boy!!!! my big strong blonde haired blue-eyed baby boy.
Elijah, keep that imagination, keep loving Jesus and stay the sweet boy i love so much... my heart aches knkowing that each year will fly by faster and faster, but i know that you are my son and always will be. the memories will always be there, and we will do our best to be the best parents that you deserve. i love you and i love you more each day.
Happy birthday sweet boy.
We are going to have the best weekend ever!!! Daddy is bringing our puppy home tonight...Michelle, Addyson and Simon are going to stay the night, I'm surprising you and taking you to Jump N Jungle to meet Addyson and Ethan... and then your party is tomorrow!!!!
I love you birthday boy... i love you
love,
Your Mommy....
