bittersweet

How bittersweet it is to be celebrating the birthday of my little guys. I can't believe they are growing up so fast. Oh, how I miss those baby/toddler days, but love the "big kid" stage they are entering upon too! Happy birthday to my sweet 4yr old boys!

Will,
Here are just a few things I love about you on your 4th birthday:

• You have such a unique and awesome sense of humor.
• Your determined spirit helps you overcome many things that are difficult for you.
• You are a leader, and think for yourself.
• I consider you my miracle boy. When I was told you had CP, I often wondered if you would ever do things that other "regular" kids do....like ride a bike or play ball. It brings tears to my eyes as I watch you on your fourth birthday playing Wii boxing. I feel so blessed that you are unaffected by the CP, and do EVERYTHING any other kid your age does, even if it's a bit harder for you.
• You march to the beat of your own drum (or trumpet), and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Jack,
Here are just a few things I love about you on your fourth birthday:

• You are such a sensitive and lovable little boy. You still suck your thumb and need your silkie. It melts me.
  
• You are such a mama's boy, and you still let me rock you when we watch tv.
• I consider you to be my "bonus baby"...twin b...and thank God you were given to us.
• You idolize your brother and sister. You want to be just like them, even though it drives them nuts most of the time.
  
• You are "all boy". You love sports, trucks, trains, and ALL things boy!
  

To both of my boys,
Here are just a few things that I love about you being twins/brothers on your fourth birthday:

• I hear you in your beds at night whispering and giggling.
• You look out for eachother, especially at school.
• Even though you may fight, you never hold a grudge.
• Your conversations crack me up. Half the time I have NO IDEA what you guys are talking about, but you seem to always know what the other is saying.
• When we're out and people who don't know you well ask which one of you is which, you try to trick them.

I love you boys!!! Happy Birthday!!!!
