Dear Raleigh,

*I wrote this on his actually birthday. It just too me 6 months to post it*


Oh my sweet boy, today you are four! You are long and lanky and full of energy. You are the "knower" of all the things. You even know everything about the stuff you know NOTHING about and you explain it in great detail. You love your brother so much. It seriously makes my heart squeeze to see you play with Ridgey or watch Rhodie for me.

You can remember lyrics to songs after hearing them once. You love the Ninja Turtles, Rescue Bots, animal shows and Blippi. You are absolutely obsessed with your cousins, they are your people and I love that!

Little boy, you have learned so much this year. I am so proud of you! Oh man, we barely made it through potty training....I guess we are still learning but you do things at on your own time that is for sure! You cannot be rushed!
I wish you could stay 4 forever. I'm liking 4, 4 is refreshing, especially after the hell of 3. You are the master of negotiations. I told myself I would be a mom who would not give in to children's multiple requests. But you sir can ask for the same thing 900 times in a row....seriously...900! And on the 901"ask" I usually cave while gritting my teeth and pouring my glass of wine.
Raleigh Myers you are one of a kind! I love you little boy! Keep on being awesome! Keep on making me laugh! Keep on being weird and opinionated!


Love, Mama
