Elijah is Five!!
Dear Elijah,

We want you to know how important you are to us and how thankful we are for you!
You're five now, and you're really budding into quite a little man. You've come a long way from the two-year-old that was springing out white hairs on your mama's head, left and right!
You're a smart young man and you'll officially be starting school this year. You and Sammy are still best of buds and you love anything Luigi, as Sammy has Mario well covered. You are hovering between wanting to grow up and wanting to stay in Never-Never Land a while longer. I can definitely understand.
We love you. We've seen you grow so much this year, more and more often choosing obedience over defiance, while still embracing challenge and adventure.
You've also grown in tenderness and compassion this year, often choosing time to just cuddle and chat with your mama over the countless other things you could be doing at any given time. The twinkle in your eye never fails to warm our hearts.
We love you and hope and pray for good things for you this coming year!!
Happy, happy birthday, Elijah!!
