happy fourth birthday beautiful boy

Just like that, you really aren't a baby anymore!

While three could still be considered toddler territory,

four is big boy territory,

and you are so ready to fill those big boy shoes.

Every amazing year seems to fly by

as we pack our days with fun and adventures

and this year has seen to you taking little adventures of your own;

adventures independently of us,

as you've started preschool and classes which are all your own.

You've embraced this opportunities with such excitement and enthusiasm

and words could never really express how very proud you make us.

You are so sensitive and kind,

so hilariously funny and cheeky,

so inquisitive about the world,

so keen to learn,

so polite,

so warm,

so friendly;

and I thank my lucky stars every day

that I get the pleasure of raising you,

and witnessing all the fantastic things you are becoming.

As you turned one, and two, and three,

it made me so emotional to think how far you had come from those baby days,

how far we had come together.

And this year is no different.

Four seems so big.

Four will see you start primary school.

And while you have without a doubt got the energy and personality to absolutely rule at being four,

sometimes I look at you and still see the baby you once were

and just can't believe that we have come so far

and how far your legs are going to take you in life.

You rock my world little man,

and I couldn't be prouder that I get to be your best girl

and your best friend

and your mummy.

Happy fourth birthday beautiful boy.

I love you more.

I love you most.
