Dear Ryker,
How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you!
This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctly. You struggle with me trying to sit and work with "preschool" stuff because I think I am just Mama and not the teacher. Hee Hee! You know all your colors, most or your shapes (the hard ones still confuse you a bit but hey they do me too), you can count to 10. You still WILL NOT let me sing the ABC's to you.... there is the stubborn side of you coming out so we listen to a cd in the car so you will eventually learn them. Everyone is so amazed how much you love all your toys and can tell me who gave you each one. You play so well by yourself and have such an imagination but you can also play well with others.
You finally got your baby sissy Larkyn this year! I think you fell in love with her the moment you saw her or maybe even when she was still in Mama's belly. You truly are the BEST BIG BROTHER! Everyone kept warning me, "oh he will get sick of her in a week or two" or "he will want to send her back because he will be jealous". Well you proved them wrong Toota Bug you adore your sissy and want to constantly be helping with her besides the poopy diapers you refuse to help with! Come on buddy I don't like them either! Hee Hee! I could sit and watch you and Larkyn play all day. The bond you two already have at such a young age melts my heart. You want to teach her everything. How lucky we all are to have such a fun, spunky, caring, sweet, handsome and adventurous little man in our lives. Daddy and I are truly honored and blessed to be your parents.
Happy 4th Birthday Toota Bug!
I LOVE you my sweet lovie,
Mama
