My Sweet Kanman,
Holy Cow - YOU'RE 5!!!
5 sounds like such a big boy age. Next week you start kindergarten. I don't understand how time went by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday you were learning to walk, talk, and navigate this crazy thing called life.
You are still such a joy! Your laugh is infectious and everyone who hears it agrees. You delight in figuring things out and your intelligence constantly astounds me. I can never remember what kids are "supposed" to know and be able to do at this age, but regardless you make me so proud.
You are sensitive. You don't like to disappoint and are quick to apologize when your moments are over. You are spirited, full of energy and zest. Running is still a pleasure for you. You hated soccer but fell in love with tball this year and became known as the "heavy hitter." This year you fell in love with Ninja Turtles and Star Wars (much to my dismay) and you still love to play games on my phone. You delight in figuring out mazes and puzzles, you have such a technical mind.
When it comes to being a big brother, I can't begin to tell you how amazing you are with Kimbree Jo. I know Kimbree frustrates you when she takes things away or when she accidentally (or sometimes on purpose) makes a mess out of something you've been creating; but for the most part you are SO good to her. You find ways to play with her and you are constantly teaching her. Nothing melts my heart more than when you look at her and you both laugh that full belly laugh deep down into your souls.
You have a big year ahead my little big man, one with lots of changes. No matter what comes your way, I know you will flourish and prosper. Thank you for taking me on this journey with you, I can't wait to see what's next. Happy 5th Birthday Mr.......
