Last night Mini went to bed as a three year old

Today he woke as a Four year old

I see much more of myself in you than in Maxi and I know that you are learning to control your temper and emotions and hope that it can continue to develop and you learn to harness the feelings inside.

Sometimes I am filled with the fear that you will always do things the hard way and wish you could learn from my experiences.

You couldn't be more loved.

You have developed my love of books and listening to you read is one of my favorite times of the day.

You are both a mummy's boy and a dads lad.  The perfect blend.
You are independent to a fault, but you love with out compare.

You make me swing with you and skip, hop and jump.

We watch the clouds and give them names.

We sign songs making up the words as we go along.

I am your kiss and cuddle express.

Who is Mini?

The baby of the family in years, but not in size

Larger than life, you fill a room with your deep laughter

A great force of energy

A body that has to succumb to his emotions

People adore mini, he has a way to endear himself to everyone

He is cheeky with a twinkle in his eyes

A boy with words from an early age

A ferocious reader

Affectionate to a fault with cuddles for all, but especially for me

He sings from his heart and has music in his soul

His imagination knows no bounds

A loyal brother

An observer

A wonderful son

Each day I am blessed to see you grow, develop and learn.  You will me with optimism and joy and have a way of making even the sternest person smile.  You have a gift of innocence.  I will hold you tight forever.
