Dear Christian

Dear Christian,

As you turn 5 and become in your words a "big boy", I just wanted to write you a letter about the boy you are right now.

You love all things super hero. Batman, Spiderman, Iron, Superman, Justice League, Power Rangers. You seem to really like bad guys too. You like Joker, Penguin, Roughneck and Sportsmaster.

You have started talking with your hands, which I find very funny because I do that all the time. Grama Nita says if I sat on my hands I couldn't speak. You enjoy using silly words and not all of them I like. But that is normal. You can't wait to start soccer school and big boy school. Your best buddies are Rocky, Landon, Ethan, and Martin. Your little brother Archer loves to copy everything you do and say. He loves to take over your room and call it his, which you don't exactly like.

You are smart and you know it. You know how to count to 20, all your letters and numbers. You can spell and write your name. That is no small feet because you remind me all the time "Mommy my name is soooooo long". Sorry we didn't think about that more before we named you, but it will build your character and you are named after very special people.

You tell me all the time about how you were with God before he sent you to me and Daddy. You tell me about how you used to eat breakfast with God, I think you had donuts. You tell me you know I love you, just because I'm your Mommy and you are a big boy.

You have asthma and know when you need a breathing treatment. This is a big help to your teachers and Mommy and Daddy.

You like to have silly face, make funny noises and use silly words. This all makes for a very funny boy. You use the word actually a great deal. You enjoy asking questions and keep us on our toes with your conversations and inquiries.

You wake up early on weekends (around 6:00 or 6:30) but since you are such a big boy you come and ask to play in your room for a while...then you come and ask to play in the living room. We all soon join you, but we appreciate that you can play by yourself.

We love you big boy and can't wait to take you to the Lego Store tonight. Happy Birthday!!

Love,
Mommy
