dear judson,
today you are four! What a fun four years we’ve had! If I thought time flew with your sister, I was wrong. How in the world my tiny baby boy is a four year old, I’m not sure. I feel like I should be rocking you to sleep and kissing your tiny head with your endless curls, but instead I’m chasing you around (literally ALL the time) and we are having so much fun.
You are so very different from your sister in so many ways. You like to bend the rules and test the lines we draw. You want to see just how far you can go, you’re adventurous in all aspects and so spirited. We have to remind you to walk nearly 100 times per day because you want to run or skip or hop everywhere you go. You make friends quick, and never meet a stranger.
You have a huge personality and an imagination that is unmatched. You are constantly telling us stories you’ve dreamed up in your head about dinosaurs and rocket ships. You still love to put imaginary dinosaurs in your pocket and carry them around with you all day long. You don’t love to sit still for very long and work on educational things, but that doesn’t seem to affect your ability to recall so many things, from numbers to ABC’s and you quickly memorize books and songs and flash cards.
This year you started playing soccer and loved it. You couldn’t be more excited about becoming a big brother. You always want to talk to the baby and you’ve decided on two distinct names. A baby girl should be Snowflake and a baby boy should be Chippy. You’re partial to having a baby brother. And you love a good adventure whether we’re going to Disney World or to the beach or to the aquarium.
Your heart is so big. You love your family so much, you love giving hugs and snuggling. You love the colors blue and green, dinosaurs and race cars, and you build with magna tiles ALL day long. We have to take a stack anywhere we go. You’ve become a great eater and are willing to try anything new.
You still have the best curls! We can’t go anywhere without someone commenting on how awesome your hair is and we all agree.
We love you so much Judson! From your big heart to your sweet spirit. You are definitely the most spirited in our house, always making us laugh and always the life of the party.
You are SO loved!
