Dear Konnor,
Today you are four years old.
Wow.
Four!??!
Where has the time gone?!?!? Really….
You have been at Grammies for about a week. I talked to you this morning before school. You weren’t excited to talk to me. Told Grammie you didn’t want to. So she put on the speaker phone. When I said it was your birthday, you lit right up and sounded so excited to talk to me. :)
This is the first year you really understand it’s your birthday. In years past, you were happy with presents and cake, but didn’t really get it.
I love you bug. More and more every day.
This has been your first year of pre-school and you are so smart!!! Parent teacher conferences were a couple weeks ago, and your teacher adores you. “He has the most bubbly personality” she told me, which didn’t come as a surprise.
You have adopted an attitude as of late, and sometimes it’s hard not to laugh when you say “Mommy, I’m so mad at you!” and slam your door. You crack me up kid.
One more year of preschool and you head off to Kindergarten. To be honest, K-man, I am not ready for you to be so grown up yet! Looking at pictures of when you were tiny, when you depended on me so, it makes me sad. Sad you aren’t that little anymore. A little sad that you don’t depend on me like you used to.
I beam with joy knowing that I have raised you. We have made it four years. While I may have been a young mommy (19), I still managed to grow you up with the love and nurturing you needed. We have fourteen years ahead of us. I hope every day of those fourteen years goes by a little bit slower than the last four.
You are my world. You were there when no one else was. You have taught me more about myself than I could have ever done. You taught me unconditional love.
Happy Birthday, Konnor!!
Love, Mommy
What a lucky kid to have a mom like you!
