You

Your giggle, your demands, your coy expressions.
Your ever growing vocabulary.
Your blond curls, long eyelashes, chubby little hands and perfect squishy cheeks.
Your round "Buddha belly".
Your independence.
Your love of structure.

You sing, tell stories, have an imaginary friend.
You can't jump on one foot just yet but you compensate by jumping on everything else.
You love rubbing tags, especially when you are nervous or tired.
You challenge me, make me laugh, keep me on my toes.
You know what you want and you aren't afraid to tell me... or anyone else.
You love "sprinkle cookies" and anything salty.
You're growing quickly and you are so excited to be getting "big".

4 years ago you were born. 4 years ago God blessed me by allowing me to be your mother. To learn from you, to challenge you, to love you with everything I have in me.

I love you my little monkey.
Happy birthday,
Mommy
