High FIVE

Dear KP,

What a year.  How much you have accomplished, how big you have become and how wonderful it is to be with you.

You are chalk-full of life, you take it by the tail, whip it around and squeeze EVERY last bit out of it.

You certainly know what you like, who you want to play with and what you want to do.  No need to argue, you know.

If it’s not nailed down, whatever it is, you will break it.  The million year old fossil your brother gave you today…I give it one week.

Not so much because you are destructive, ok you ARE destructive, but you are also very curious.  What will happen if I break this fossil in half?  Do I get two?

You love like there is no tomorrow.  You hug like it will be our last.  And you are learning to be oh so patient.  You got it down to a point, but once we’ve teetered over the edge, everyone knows to step back or the same amount of loving intensity comes flying out in a very negative way.

Your little face and eyes are filled with so much expression you wouldn’t need to utter a single word, but you do, lots of them in a cute, funny, husky little voice.

I can’t believe you are five.  My baby, who is no baby, who has not been a baby for a very long time, is five.

This upcoming year will be filled with so many amazing experiences for you.  I can’t wait to see what you do with them.

I love you my littlest big boy.  Have a brilliant day.

Happy Birthday!

Love,

Mom
