Super Eli!

 5.

You are 5. How is that even possible?

I know the days of you wanting to dress-up as some type of hero are coming to an end soon and I am so heart-broken over it.

You, my sweet Eli are amazing. You have the most gorgeous eyes on the face of the planet.

 You want to be every kind of community helper when you grown up....and a scuba diver. Your favorite foods are tacos and strawberries.

You want to marry your momma and live at home forever.

I tell you that I'm already married to your daddy, but you can live with me forever, that would be okay. 

I know that all too soon I will no longer be the most important person in your life. 

 

Sweet Eli,

You are my favorite big boy, and I'm so proud to be your momma! I want you to know just how much love you are surrounded by; your momma and daddy love you so very much. Jesus loves you more.

Thank you for being exactly who you are. We couldn't be more proud of you and all the ways you want to help those around you.

Continue to use that beautiful imagination; I hope we still have many more months of you dressing up every day.

Happy birthday, love. May your light burn ever brighter as you learn and grown...

My love,

Mommy
