I have been looking through lots of your baby photos recently and I just can't help but think that each year is going by exponentially faster than the last. On your real birthday this year you woke up with the tummy bug and we had to reschedule your party for a week later. You love football and would have been content inviting your best buds over, wearing helmets and jerseys, and just playing tackle all day long but we decided to have a sports-themed party at the Jaycee center just in case not all the attendees are as tackle-ready as you :)
We had so much fun celebrating you today, Van. I am so proud of you and your endearing personality. Instead of enjoying your own birthday cake, you blew out the candles and asked me if you could help pass out the cake to your friends. You are a giving, loving, and patient little soul. Today when we were playing outside, you let Abe sit in your lap while you showed him how your gator/tractor works. Just watching how polite and gentle you are with him makes me so happy. You are so sweet to stop playing with your own toys and share with Abe and Jeanie. I am in awe at how easily you transitioned into kindergarten and how quickly you made so many great friends. I am a lucky mom to have you as my first and oldest child. One of the best parts of my week is our joint guitar lesson. You inspire me with your natural musical talent! I am so excited about your future and love watching you grow every single day. I apologize for not getting you a fourth light saber for your birthday, I hope you forgive me for that one day! ;) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!!
Love, Mom
