Yesterday my first baby turned 4. In celebration of his life, here are the things I love most about him (in no particular order).
He has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
He has a dimple on his right cheek that will melt your heart.
He uses big words like improvise and destination.
He calls bananas "gananas."
He loves his brothers and tries very hard to make them happy.
He has a passion for music already.
He prays several times every day.
He wants to know more about God and asks me to read to him from the Children's Bible.
He likes to write cards to his favorite people.
He remembers everything he hears.
He has friends from different races and has never once asked why they look different.
He can give you directions to our house, using left/right and correct road names.
He says "I love you" spontaneously, and often.
He follows directions.
He wants to know why things are the way they are and how things work.
He gets nervous and sucks in his cheeks when he's around unfamiliar people.
He looks forward to Sunday School all week.
He wants to please me so badly.
He forgives me when I'm impatient.
He still loves to sit in my lap.
I am so proud of him I could just burst.
Sometimes I call him Baby, and he protests that he is not a baby. I remind him that he's my baby and will be forever, even when he's an old man with babies of his own.
I have so many more things to say. I love him for so many more reasons. Happy Birthday, Jackson. I have loved every minute (okay, most minutes) of the last 4 years. I love watching you grow. I love seeing the person you're becoming. I can't wait to see what kind of man you'll become. I am so proud of you. I love you so much. -Mama
Jackson, 1 day old
