Chase,
You are definitely giving us a run for our money these days. On the cusp of all kinds of language skills, but not quite fashioning enough words we can understand, you wine a lot to try and get your way. This is common at this stage, but I'm sorry to say, this - along with you having an older brother - often distracts us from focusing on your other qualities that are so special. Like ...
...Your beautiful humming of children's songs in their entirety.
...Your enthusiasm after accomplishing a new skill.
...Your playfulness.
... How you experience comfort from family, friends and food.
... How you walk Daniel into his class and head right for circle time, sit down and join in as if the class day ahead was meant for you.
... You have the confidence to try anything your big brother does.
... You can already assemble train tracks by yourself.
... You will run after Dad and Daniel - always just a step behind - and join in their games that you don't fully understand, but love every minute of it.
... You reach for our hands to pray at dinner.
... You are beautifully made in the image of God.
Just wanted to take a moment to share with you what a gift you are.
Love you, cute stuff.
Mommy
