Griffin {5}

Dear Griffin,

My awesome, wild, quirky, smart, kind, and oh so cute boy.  You were the first to make me a "Mommy."  You entered this world at 36 weeks on your "own terms" and our lives have been changed for the better ever since!  Thanks for being my first.  The one who first shaped me into the Mommy that I am today.  You inspire me.  You challenge me.  You make me want to be a better person!

Of all of your qualities I am most impressed by your kindness.  You have such a kind heart and shine your light for all to see.  A few weeks ago after school you told me, "Mommy, Makai was crying because he didn't have anybody to walk with him to class.  So I hugged him, and walked with him."  I pray that you always keep this quality.  It will get you far in life.  The world can be a cruel and ugly place.  It needs more kind people just like you.

You have done amazing in preK4 this year.  You are READING!  We are so proud of you and your desire to learn.  You look forward to going to school every day.  We have a long school career ahead of us, I hope that you always enjoy school and learning.

You are a great big brother.  You constantly have 2 sets of little eyes following your every move.  Your baby brothers just adore you.  You love on them and annoy them just like a good big brother should.

I am so very proud of you.  I love having a front row seat to watch you become such a charming little boy.  You will be a world changer!  Keep living, keep loving, and keep dreaming big my love!
"You are a good boy and will do great things in this world."

All my love,
Mommy (your biggest fan)
