I don’t often say it, and I’m not the kind of mom who normally brags… but it’s long overdue.

Nolan, you’re such a big boy now. You are learning things each and every day that just amaze your father and I.

Today as we sat at Bob Evans and finished our meals, you opened up your kids menu, and proceeded to try to fill out the mail-in slip for their birthday club. You managed to write your first name on the “name” line with ease, and then went on to write your last name on the “address” line. You were about 75% correct!

You can recite the Pledge of Allegiance. You’re singing God Bless America, along with sign-language. You’re reading words like “off”, “exit” and more. You observe everything around you.

You are brushing your teeth alone now. You are riding your bike with ease. You’ve become such a little man, I can’t stand it.

You are picking me flowers, even if they are dandelions. You draw me pictures. It melts my heart that you think to do such sweet little things for me, when I’m not there.

You’re playing tee ball, and doing quite well. You’re swimming on your back, all by yourself.

We watched you sing and dance to songs from the 80’s today. Who knew you could do the “robot” dance to “Mr. Roboto?”

I could go on all night. But for now I’ll just say that we’re so blessed to have you in our lives. We are so very proud of you, and want everything in the world for you.

Love,
Mommy
