Love for my big boy

It has been a while since I've posted anything about my firstborn. I really hope that this isn't a reflection of real life. We try very hard to lavish attention on our big boy since there is such a gigantic amount of focus on B around here. For now, B's needs are greater and more all consuming but I'm pretty sure big brother is actually benefiting from this experience as a whole. And fortunately, he seems no worse for the wear.

So here's a post for him.

I love who he is at age 4. I feel utterly loved and adored by him and this is not something I take for granted. He is quite the charmer. Here are some of the things he says to me regularly:
mommy, you look beautiful
I love what you are wearing
You're the best
I'm so proud of you
I love you SO much
You did such a great job at x,y,z

And there is no shortage of hugs, kisses and just general sweetness.

He is polite. He is articulate. He's funny. He has a huge heart.
He is sweet to his brother (some of the time).
He loves babies and animals and an audience. And, of course, his first love - cars.

I can take him anywhere. He's a great helper and can make the mundane errands fun.

Keep up the good work, kid. We are so very proud of you.

Love,
Mommy
