He's Four!

Dear Nathan

Four years ago we got our first chance to meet you. In four years so much has happened. In particular, this year has been a year of transitions for you. You became a big brother and had to find your way in that role. You learned to pedal and ride a bike without training wheels. You left the comfort of your small little daycare and started preschool. If we didn’t know it before, we know it now, being 3 is hard! There are times throughout this year when I wasn’t sure we would see our way to 4, but here we are. One thing you inherited from us is stubbornness. You definitely learned how to exert your opinion this year, and not always in the most appropriate way. But as you became more confident in the things you are good at, and more comfortable in your role as big brother, we have seen these “moments” become fewer and further between. You have definitely began to develop a sense of humor and you crack us up all the time. One of the funny things about this is, though, you have also developed a sense of humility and you get embarrassed when we laugh at the things you do. Enjoy your special day!

Love
Mommy and Daddy
