Sam,
You've turned 4! You are seriously, the funniest, sweetest, kid…ever! This year I have watched you grow taller and skinnier. Your smile is still as big as your face. I just…love you. You love to lay in bed and snuggle with me in the mornings. We talk about everything, but mainly you want to talk about dogs. You love dogs. All year you have said, "when I grow up, I want to be a dog." It will be a sad day for me when you realize that won't be possible.
Sam, you are so smart and creative. You are always coming up with stuff to pretend play. It is totally exhausting, but I love to watch you get in character. Did I mention you memorize every commercial you hear? "Mom, do you use Lysol? It kills 99% of germs related to the flu virus." "Mom, did you know you can use Oxyclean on multiple surfaces?" "Mom, have you ever heard of the Bible Tour? The Bible comes to life like never before." "Will you buy me Pajaminals? They are great for both day and night!" You could totally be on a commercial.
You are so good at school. You behave well, and your teachers love you. You are so charming. You and Mattox are best buds and you play together all the time. I love that you guys love each other.
This year you found out that you are going to be a big brother. You were soooo excited and PROUD. You "kiss my baby" every day by gently kissing my belly. It. Is. So. Sweet!
I enjoy watching you understand and claim God's promises and love in your little heart. My prayer is that you will grow every year in your love for the Lord. That your eyes would be opened to his goodness and love in the midst of this dark broken world. I pray you will be a tool of love and reconciliation, no matter where you are or what you do. May God have his hand on your heart and mind for all the years to come. My sweet sweet Sam….I love you all the way to Pluto and back.
Happy Birthday
-Mom
