Today my little prince turns four.  BIG BOY FOUR!   It’s been a year of achievements.   Moving into the big boy bed.  Playing with Yugi-Oh cards.   Learning how to outwit your sisters by using your words.  Playing well with others and forming friendships.  Killing Big Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine.    Learning to ride a bike.   Becoming an expert at picking out your own clothing.   
 
But I still remember the baby that they put in my arms in Kazakhstan.   It seems like yesterday.   The way you smiled so easily.  The way you snuggled up against me. The way you impressed us with your crawling skills.   The 10 oz bottles you could guzzle every four hours.   The little chuckles that endeared us to you.
 
With each passing year your changes have amazed us and our love for you has grown.  You are such a blessing in our lives.  I love you son. 
 
Happy Fourth Birthday!
