5th Birthday

Dear Carter,
Today you turned 5 years old!  It is hard for me to believe that you have been around for 5 years, and sometimes I can't remember what life was like 5 years ago.  I can tell you it sure wasn't as good as it is now!!!  You make our family so happy, and we are beyond blessed to call you our little man!  
You love to get up early, and sneak into my room to steal the ipad.  You will watch your favorite shows on Netflix while Mommy and Daddy sleep in a bit.  You also love to get outside and play any chance you get.  You are obsessed with the weather, and that is the first thing you check in the morning.  You always report to me if it is going to be sunny, cloudy, raining, etc.  You love to play with Kinley, especially chasing and hiding.  You love to watch football with your Daddy, and your favorite team is the Seahawks!  
Today I looked at you and told you I wasn't ready for you to go to Kindergarten next year.  I said maybe I would just keep you home with me.  Your response "Mom, you have to let me go.  There is so much that I have to learn at school."  Sigh, you are wise beyond your years little man!
Thank you for choosing me to be your Mommy Carter.  I could not imagine a more loving, caring, or spunky little boy!!  I love you with all my heart Carter Joseph.  Happy Birthday!!!!
Love, Mommy
