dear true,

you are so full of energy i just don't know what to do.

could you possibly consider slowing down just a little or at least concentrating said energy

on just one part of the house. every time i turn around you are unloading my

kitchen cabinets, throwing toys through the railing upstairs so they make dents

on our wood floor downstairs{you even hit me with a rather large horse from your brother's knights the other day while i was picking up the first one you had thrown, it hurt bad.}

you love to help with the laundry which means you put the clean clothes back to the washing machine or that you insist on trying to launder our shoes. you are loud and noisy and think it is hilarious. you let us know just what you want even when you don't know the word. "i want that" is a very common phrase. you are in the kitchen wanting something to eat or drink all the time. which means you make a huge mess followed by another tub for the day{i bathe you approx. 5 times a day}. you love to play mark, set, go and throw yourself onto soft things. i always know when you want to play because you back yourself up against something and look at me with a smile and say, "mark". i'm proud

you have your middle name down at such a young age. you still let me hold you tight and snuggle you all the time, and i love it. you run to your brothers and give them hugs and kisses

every night before bed and then yell bye at them as we are walking up the stairs.

you love to sit and read stories and then you help me sing, but

that has been our tradition for sometime. you're not a baby anymore you run with the big boys.

you get really mad that they won't let you go down the slides and off the

diving board at our pools. you wear me out, and i love ever minute of it.

love, your adoring mom
