Carter turned 4

I cannot believe I have a four year old. My grown boy! Here is my four year old letter to him.

Carter,
You have grown so much this year. You became a big brother again, and learned to use the potty, and learned to clean your room and you can drink out of a regular cup with no spills. You have learned to cut pretty well with scissors, and you like drawing pictures of people. They look great because you are great at drawing circles. We had a fun summer, going the beach and to oceanbreeze and the park. This fall we did plenty of picnics and playdates with Ebbie and baby Sully and your friend Taylor. We went to Chik fil a many times with Mammow, Grandaddy and Mimi. We watched Toy story and Olivia and the Upside Down show. We read many books every night. You have a sweet spirit, and always want to help. You are a caretaker and a leader. You are so good with babies. Baby Sully loves when you talk and play with him. You are good at sharing with your brother Evan. When I think back to the days when you were just a baby, I wish I could hold you in my arms one more time and rock you to sleep. What a special time we had, just you and me, my firstborn. I still get to cuddle you in the morning though, when you wake up and yell for me to carry you into the living room, little prince. But I do it, knowing these days will be over soon. I am so proud of you and all you are. I am excited to see all the world has for you my sweet boy. Your heart is big, and I am sure God has big plans for you. I love you my sweet boy. Thank you for making me a mommy, and for letting me love you. Happy fourth birthday little man.
