4 years old.

Dear Aiden,

Four years ago tonight I was sitting home just like many nights before. I was irritated that you were not here already as today was my due date. Babies are supposed to come on their due date. Little did I know you had your own plans and four years tomorrow morning I would go into labor.

I find it a little ironic that you were a day late. That is how your little personality is, still today. You take your time. You keep me on my toes. I get irritated and then you give in.

I cannot believe we have been together for four years. Alot of mothers would talk about how they prepared for you and waited for you. I will admit..I was just scared. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Later I found out..I got myself into a wonderful adventurous journey that would shape the woman I have become.

In the four years we have been together I have grown up right beside you. You have taught me just as much as I could ever teach you. I am so lucky to be able to see the world through your eyes. The simplicity you are filled with reminds me to slow down. and I hope you never lose that.

Tomorrow we will party with your cat in the hat cake that you have been staring at all night. We will play ski ball and you will probably beat me. We will open presents and do all of the things that four year old boys like to do. And I will do my best not to slow you down. Because secretly I want you to be my cuddly little boy forever. But you are growing. and I love you. Forever and always.

Xoxo

Mom
