When You Were Four
When you were four you:
Learned to ride your two-wheeler… Swam in the lake with Dad for the first time…Hugged and kissed lots…Were constantly building nests in my house with furniture blankets and pillows…Got a new feather pillow for Christmas but still could not sleep without your favorite (but yucky and thin) old one…
Fell off your bike on the bike path and threw a doozy of a fit… Got back on and rode to the truck… Filmed your brother’s preschool graduation and did a great job… Earned the nickname Domenic Scorsesi…Went to New York City for the first time…
Loved dinosaurs, Pokemon and your buddy Zach… Learned to use a sewing machine and made balsam pillows for Christmas for the family…Snuggled on the big bed… Understood what it meant to be without your brother for a couple of hours…Got up at 6:30 every school morning even when you could sleep in and he could not…
Found out the Internet has fun pictures of your favorite characters… Learned to love video games… Dreamed of being five and going to Kindergarten…Wanted to own a Pikachu…Wrote I Love You Grammy without any help…
Loved to make your Dad proud… …Stopped throwing temper fits…Are sleeping through every night… Got asked if you ever stop talking…Make us proud all the time …Can eat five tacos in one sitting…Grew 2 and ¾ inches…
And then you turned five… I love you very much my littlest baby boy
Happy Birthday
