Six Years Old

Today, you turned 6 YEARS OLD. Six years ago today, our lives changed forever and in a way that that we never expected. You impact people. We consider ourselves the luckiest parents on earth to be trusted to raise such an amazing boy. We don’t take this job lightly, and enjoy every second of it. Since birth, you’ve projected a sweet, calm quiet. You continue to be an observer of people and activities and then quietly try on your own in private. You have become a perfectionist who is not satisfied with anything but what you pictured in your mind. You are very, very artistic and creative and could spend most hours of the day quietly drawing battle scenes, castles, or daddy cooking on the BBQ. You love to build Lego creations and play with marbles or anything that resembles a long lost shiny treasure. You love fantasy worlds of pirates, space ships and zombies. You are still an awesome sleeper, but dislike waking up in the morning. You are the best snuggler in the house and can form into any shape to be physically close to people you love.
This has been a big year of learning and growing. Learning is something that you have grown to love and it shows in your enthusiasm when you read, count, add, subtract and spell from memory. You’ve gained confidence in your friendships and abilities and as a result have grown a bigger “voice” that is really fun to watch.
When you were little, I wanted you to stay little. But, the older you get, the more I enjoy seeing who have and will become. It is an honor to be your parent. We love you to the moon and back and can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for you. Happy Birthday Henry!

Love,
Mom & Dad
