To my dearest.

My boy.

Tomorrow you mark a new milestone. Three years old.

I am so overwhelmed at how fast this time has flown by.  From my early surprise baby, to a toddling tot, to a boy with never ending energy and conversation.  My how you have grown!  

You have shown us so much of what true unconditional love is and have truly taught me how to be a better person.  

You are so kind and gentle, yet crazy and wild and I love that you are a perfect mix of such qualities.

  I have no doubt that you will one day change the world around us with your charisma and friendly manner.  You will be a friend to all---I am sure of it!

As we excitedly await the arrival of your little sister, I want you to know how special you are.  You are my sweet, you are my heart. 

 I know that my love and heart will grow even more with baby sister, but none of that will be taken from you my love. None.

You are going to be such a good big brother--the thought of it excites me and it will be such a blessing to watch you two grow up together.  I pray that you will find joy in being her protective older brother.

The day you made me a mama is always a fond memory and tonight I will again thank God through tears of joy of what a gift he has given our family.

I'll love you forever.

I'll like you for always.

As long as I'm living.

My baby you'll be.

Everett—3 years old.
