Double Digits baby! You finally made it - 10 years old. One decade ago you made your Dad and I parents, and I can't believe how quickly time is flying. In a few short years you'll be spreading your wings and taking on the world.
But for now, you're still my punkin', under our roof and learning to slowly expand your wings. Over the past year we're starting to see you bloom into the young man you are becoming, but still watching you cling to the innocence of childhood. I'm cherishing what little time we have to enjoy this childhood innocence, because unfortunately those eyes of innocence disappear as the realities of the world take over your day-to-day.
Now in the 4th grade, you are tackling more challenges at school and even at home. Chores are beefing up, homework is taking longer, and now you're taking on an instrument. All of this will help you grow into the responsible young man I dream you will become. I love the questions you have about anything and everything - challenging what we know and showing off a bit what you know. Asking the questions about things you're uncertain of, and taking risks. Including finally learning how to ride your bike!!
Just as you are learning with bike riding, there are times in life you will fall, but it's so very important to get back up and try again. So what if it's challenging and difficult - that is what makes the accomplishments that come from overcoming these challenges that much more rewarding. Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't get worked up over things that tomorrow really won't matter. Instead, focus on what you do have - what's truly important - and stay positive.
That is what I dream for you this year and every year - continue to grow in every aspect in your life. Be the best person you can be. Someone kind, respectful, responsible and loving.
I love you bud, and I love that you're still my little boy, even if you're busy reminding me that you're about to become a "tween". Fight the good fight and work hard to make your dreams come true.
I love you more!
Mom
