How is it you are 4? Was it not yesterday your daddy handed you to me and I was in awe of you and in awe I was now a mommy.
We are sitting on the couch and you are cuddled up on my lap. It's good to know that 4 year olds still love to cuddle. You like to ask me to be your cuddle buddy. I'll always cuddle you!
This past year I feel like you've changed so much. You're talking tons better! You still have a big heart but you've also learned to aggravate! And you really know how to hurt my feelings. I don't like getting on to you, but it's necessary. I know when you're a daddy you'll understand. It's crazy to think that one day you'll be a dad.
It's fun to imagine your future. As of today you want to be a optometrist. Maybe one day you will. You love to run, Star Wars, ninja turtles, and dinosaurs. Your favorite food is "soda" and "chips and cheese". Your favorite colors are green and red. Your favorite song is "joy to the world" but I think it's really what we call a long time ago, I know that my savior loves me.
You are still scared of the dark, sleeping in your room, going downstairs alone etc.
Elijah, know how much I love you. I want to give you the world but know that the best thing I can give you is love. I'll say no to you a lot. I know you'll think I'm the meanest mom ever. But it is almost always done out of love. I'm still learning how to be a mom. And since you are my first, you experience it all. We will learn together.
I love you son. I love being your mom. I love we get to be together forever. Thanks you for being you. For loving and forgiving me on a daily basis. You are the best.
Love, Mommy.
