happy birthday to my big boy, ethan! it's hard to believe that you are *only* FOUR years old. in some ways you seem so much older...but you will always be my baby, don't you worry.

i love the way you laugh after you make all those silly noises that only you can make.

i love your cleverness.

i love your hugs.

i love the way you cuddle (even though you still like to stick your hand in my armpit!).

i love the goodness in your heart that shows when you treat your brothers so nicely.

i love everything about you!

i love you so much, ethan spider and i hope that you have the best 4th birthday EVER.

all my love,
mama
