[I know this photo doesn't look like the little dude is having a good time, but he is. I promise. He's just sampled indian fare, gotten some mendhi and is about to go swimming. What more can a little boy ask for?]
Happy Six, my middle little.
You are the light of our lives and the joy in our days.
You have a zest for creativity, an amazing compassion and heart for others and a crazy way of manipulating situations so that those you care about are protected and happy.
I love the way you adore your sister and look up to your brother.
I love the way you miss your daddy while he's at work, and are confident that he misses you just the same.
I love the look on your face when you run.
I love the sweet twist that your mouth makes when you are nervous or unsure about something.
I love the way you want to curl up in bed and watch cartoons in the morning.
I love that you want to learn Hindi.
I love that the only thing you don't like about India is that "the days go too fast"
I love that you would never hurt an animal and want to be a superhero when you grow up.
You are the most fantastic six year old boy right at this moment. Could NOT ask for more.
~ Mom
