These past two years have been a trip!!! I remember wondering what life would be like with a son... now I can't imagine life without you. Coming home to you and your beautiful mommy is absolutely the greatest gift I've received.
Your crazy laughter combined with a vigor for adventure has kept me joyfully on my toes. When I hear you cracking up in the other room its tough to tell whether your rollin' around in your hilarity or trying to flip over the back of the laz-y-boy. 9 times out of ten I find myself catching you before something EXTREMELY dangerous happens. Of course, I'm cautious because I love you so much. But on one hand, I could use a little less excitement you wild and crazy man!!!
Although I can't exactly understand everything you say (or half for that matter), I am enthralled at your first sentences. It feels as if you are on the verge of explaining the meaning of life itself. I remember you accidentally naming McGee (your doggy blanket) as if it were yesterday - it was 1.5 years ago and the only coherent thing you said until recently. Now you point out objects I didn't even know existed, "discovering" their names and places-and being 100% correct! Your mommy and I look at each other as if saying "where did LJ learn that?" It must be that your friends are teaching you a thing or two!
You're driving fake cars, painting masterpieces, and running marathons. You're a busy big boy - and keeping up with you is FUN! You're sweet to your mommy, kind to your friends, loving with your grandparents and patient with daddy. You've acquired the greatest disposition and I pray your character continues in this direction. With mommy at the helm, I'm sure you become an incredible man. I know you'll be an amazing brother-I'll always be thankful he'll always look up to you. My words cannot begin to express how much I love you. Happy birthday little guy - your life is an amazing celebration of God's love and grace.
