Dear Milo,
You still have your delicious baby cheeks but other than that, you’re all big boy. Tall, strong, a great climber, an aspiring two-wheel-rider, a dancer, a writer, and a great storyteller. This year, we had your first real birthday party at a super-mega-bouncy place to celebrate your big energy and big social skills.
You are a great source of joy and entertainment. I don’t know how someone your age manages to have such a dry sense of humor, but you do. You are expressive, emotional, enthusiastic, and dramatic. You are never happier than when you dress in red from head to toe — actually, make that from elbow to knee, because you hate long sleeves and long pants!
You tell me you’re ready to be a kindergartner or a big kid. Either one. When I asked why you want to be older, you said that you want to be able to drive a car and play all day.
Your bright red curls make sure that everyone knows that you’re with me. I love it. And I love you.
I hope you get everything you wish for!
~ Mommy

Happy Birthday, big boy! I love redheads, too!
cutie pie. happy birthday!
happy birthday. so sweet.
could you give him my email, just in case he gets that “able to play all day” thing figured out when he gets a little older? I’d like to do that too…..I’ve master, more or less, driving a car so no helped needed on that aspiration.
love bounce house birthday parties almost as much as I love not having to throw a birthday party. so fun!
