You just have my heart in a way I can even try to express. I love the way you say "I love ya" or "you're my best friend. I love how good you are at problem solving. I love that you love to sit and cuddle and read. I love that you are getting so good at playing pretend. I love that you love trucks, paw patrol, octonauts, plants, marble runs, robots.. so many things. The things you like, you are passionate about. Its so sweet. You love singing and dancing. You love to help with everything. If I am ever cleaning anything or doing anything in the house, you are right there helping in an way I will let you :)
I have been in awe of you this year. It was a year and a week or so ago that we started this covid stuff. Shut downs, quarentenes. You should have been transitioning out of suu early ed. and starting at the preschool but instead it just all stopped. Everyone was home, all the time. You were amazing. You handled all the change and craziness like a champ. You were so kind and patience while I worked with the girls for school. You loved participating. It really did go so well.
Soon after that, you became a big brother :) Man did that make my mama heart melt. You are the cutest big brother. You are so sweet, caring, gentle and protective of Colton. You spend the summer playing and just loving on your little guy.
Heading back to preschool was rough. After only being around us for months on end, it was really hard on you to be away from us. You had some serious separation anxiety. I'm sure all the masks didn't help the matters. We started making you puzzles of a toy you could earn. Each day you went to school you earned a piece. We did this for about....3 months, till you finally started feeling comfortable. You still had days where you were shy or nervous. You would tuck your head as they checked your temperature at the door and shuffle your feet.
You were in speech therapy at school for about, 8 months. It has been incredible just watch you really come into your own this year. You have learned and grown so much. That's not even touching how much your personality has really started showing itself. You make me laugh and smile, every day <3 There is always something you do, say, come up with that is just so funny or so sweet. It truly has been an honor watching you grow this year. You are such a brave, sweet, talented, darling boy. I am so excited to see how much you grow this year. If its anything like this past year, we are all in for a hilarious, adorable, awe inspiring adventure. I love you my Cooper boy.
