BIRTHDAY LETTER

To my dear Jackson Paul on your 3rd birthday:

Today is here!  I will never forget how happy you were this weekend ... the smile on your face when you heard us all sing "happy birthday" will forever be in my heart.  I am just so proud to be your mommy.  You continue to amaze me with your sensitive and observant personality; you are always the first to notice a new haircut, a paper cut on my hands, or a tear in Addie's eye.  You are genuine and thoughtful at your ripe age of three.   Your comments and questions keep me on my toes ... and I just so love being a kid again with you.  The world is indeed at your fingertips- thank you for teaching me to slow down and cherish the little things.

I love watching you play.  You are both brilliantly creative and structured.  Your imagination already seems to carry you to far away places; I often hear you flying your planes to San Diego, driving your cars to Target, or taking your babies to the doctor.  You strive on order and routine.  I am certain you have a photographic memory as you can recite detailed information about distant memories and places.   You will forever be Daddy's little direction man!

I love your morning bed hair and your brilliant blue eyes.  I crave your cute dimples when I'm at work.  Your white hair and sun kissed skin generates comments wherever you go.  I love riding bike with you, playing trains and cars with you, and reading you books.  I love hearing your sweet little voice sing "Jesus Loves Me" when I tuck you in.  And I love watching you sleep.

You are growing up to be such a tender-hearted and smart little boy.  May God continue to keep you safe and joyful all the days of your life.

Love, Mommy
