Dear Sam, Month 48,

Oh my goodness, you are FOUR!! I have been thinking of your birthday quite a bit today and remember it well. I cannot believe it has been 4 years. Grandma Watts & daddy were there to welcome you to the world. I remember Mamaw and your daddy making lots of phone calls to tell everyone that you had arrived. You have been such a blessing to our family. You are loved SO SO much!

Now that you are four you have told me that you will start eating "mommy & daddy" food. You are quite a picky eater so I will need to get creative to have you try new foods. Believe me, mommy is about as excited as you are...(sigh).


This year will be such a fun year for you. We will go to DisneyWorld in a few weeks and you'll be playing soccer again in the Spring and then preschool in the fall. In a blink of the eye you will be in kindergarten but for now, you are still at home with us and we will try to cherish every single moment.


My life has never been the same since you arrived at 4:17pm on that Friday afternoon 4 years ago! I love you SO much!

Love,
Mommy
