Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy
Have you ever met someone so sweet and loving that you just wanted to put them in your pocket and carry them around for your whole life? Well... Wells - that seems to be you my son.
You have a natural capacity for positive curiosity. You love to want to tate and try new things - you love to be around people and you are quick to forgive and hug and say I love you. You have a natural tendency to want to share and say please and thank you.
Your disposition is beautiful.
You're also tough, smart, and you love to compete. You are quick to cry a little bit sometimes but that's ok - you are learning to get over it faster and faster day by day.
Today is your birthday. In the last year you've learned how to hit baseballs, go sled riding, pee in a potty, swim a little bit, put your dishes in the sink, sit at the table, eat all your dinner, sleep in a big boy bed, and just be a wonderful.
I couldn't love you any more if I tried. I hope we are friends for the longest of times and make all sorts of memories together.
Love
Daddy
Little Proud Moments
Dear Ella.
The other day you, Wells and I went to breakfast. You had French Toast with syrup and strawberries on the side. This is now your "go to" breakfast. Wells had Strawberry pancakes and syrup with strawberries on the side.
I usually get some kind of egg and bacon.
I also get you guys your own plate of bacon. You aren't allowed to eat it until you finish the strawberries. And you both seem to love bacon. There were 5 pieces. You both started to eat them and you devoured your 2 pieces while Wells was still working on his 2nd. You left the last piece on the plate and went back to your French Toast.
As Wells finished his 2nd piece I saw you immediately take note and swoop to grab the 3rd piece. And then - you thought for a second - you did the math... you said "Well I don't think Wells has had this much" and you broke it in hald and gave him hald. Wells - the most gentile of us all said "Thank you Ella." And you nodded.
It may seem like a small thing - but one day if you have children you'll know that the autonomous consideration you showed there was very nice.
Have a great day -
Love Dad -
P.s. - we leave on our trip tomorrow - #gird
