Reaching New Heights

Dear Alex,

Happy 4th Birthday!

On May 22nd, you turned four years old, and your Dad and I can hardly believe how fast you are growing up! You are such a wonderful helper around the house, you are so inquisitive, and have such care for all the things and people around you. You are brilliant at puzzles, and building train tracks, you still love playing with your cars, but you are now also loving to find new things to do. You are reaching for the STARS!

Here are some things I've learned about you after a short interview:

Right now your favorite color is BLUE.

Your favorite toy is your Lightning McQueen cars.

Your favorite thing in your room are the ball stickers making the border around your walls.

Your favorite thing to do with Mom is play cars.

Your favorite thing to do with Dad is to go on rides with him in his car.

As you are starting to soar on your own, your Dad and I are beginning to see your independence shining through in the things you do.

You are getting more creative with your toys and games,

you are listening well to your sister and being a good example for her,

you are clearing your plates from the table and often volunteer to say a prayer before dinner.

You love picking out your clothes, brushing your teeth, washing in the tub, and packing the swim bag for the pool.

You enjoy reading books to us!

(Well, at least describing the pictures!)


You are over the moon about starting preschool this fall!

Alex, your Dad and I love you so much, and we can't wait to see what fun adventures we will all have during this next year of your life!

We know that the sky is the limit for you!!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
