The Joy of Raising You

Check you out wearing mom’s headphones! What’s crazy is that they look like they’d fit you! Mom took this photo and I love it. You’re just such a fun little dude to hang out and play with.

You’re just getting so big so fast these days. It’s really hard to put into words. Everyday you level up some new skill or do something that makes your mom and I go “whoa”.

You’re a fun loving, friendly, sweet little man. You love people and plants and animals. You wave at every dog that passes you if we’re out. You say hello to random people you pass on the street. People are drawn to you - and I personally think it’s more than just being a cute kid - you have that “thing”, it’s hard to explain, but you know it when you see it in people. The best way I can describe it is you have a beautiful energy to you that draws people in. It’s not forced - you’re just a natural at it.

Keep being amazing. Keep growing. Keep learning. Keep being your original self. You’re beautiful. Mom and I love you so, so much.

Love, Dad
