For My Siah On His 4th Birthday...


My precious little boy...
You are Four Years Old today...
You are the most loving of little boys...
I love the way that you watch out for your sister... Today while leaving the store you took her hand and gave her a gentle reminder when you instructed her with, "it is important to watch out for cars, or you just might get dead Hal... so hold my hand while we cross the street." Such brotherly love! :)
I love that you you truly love to help out your Mama... It amazes me that you are big enough to vacuum up all the crumbs under the table all by yourself, and spread the peanut butter and jelly onto the bread for you and your sister's lunches each day with very little assistance ...
You truly have a servants heart...
I love how when you're happy about something you show your delight with your WHOLE body (you jump and clap and let out your contagious belly laugh)...
I love your "rad moves", and the way that you feel so free to bust out your moves whenever you hear music, no matter if we are at home or in the grocery store...
I love the way that you cherish God's Word in your heart... Do you know how I know this is true?... Because I hear you telling your sister and your friends the verses that we practice in times when they need to hear them... And many mornings when you wake up you tell me, "Mama, Siah is going to obey today. Me's going to be a peacemaker, not a trouble maker. Me's going to share my toys.."
Buddy I am so proud of you... I am proud to call you my son...
A most Happy Birthday to you little buddy!!!! I sure do love you!!!

With love,
Your Mama & Your Papa
