You giggle without abandon.<\/p>\n<p>You love to read. Your grasp of language astounds me. Hearing you sounding out words and reading books is one of my motherhood delights. I couldn\u2019t be more proud of your love for learning.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re stubborn like your Mommy and a perfectionist like your Daddy.

Each day your little personality emerges, and I see a peek of what you\u2019ll be like as a young man.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re beautiful, and strong, and an inspiration. We prayed so long and hard for you- sometimes it feels like you\u2019re a dream.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve exhausted us, and tried us. We struggled through the terrible two\u2019s and emerged victorious over your threenager status. Bring it on 4- we got this!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Birthday Little Man. I can\u2019t wait to see how you change this year. But, please don\u2019t grow so fast.
