Dear Ziggy,
Happy 4th Birthday! Though I just sent you to bed early because you emptied almost an entire bottle of powder in the bedroom and also ignored your Grandpa, I love you, so, so much. Here's ten things that I always want to remember about you as you are right now.
1. I love that your favorite snack is a big dill pickle and warm milk.
2. I adore your crazy curly hair and your green/gray/hazel eyes.
3. I cherish the mornings when you wake up and tell me about your dreams. I love how much you get a kick out of sharing them with me. I hope I will always remember your dream about Tackarack the red clown. I also hope to always remember the day you work up and said, "I had a really good dream. It snowed and we were doing lots of fun things."
4. It melts my heart that you take my striped cardigan to bed. It breaks my heart that your beloved novelty Christmas snow globe stopped working, and I hope we find a replacement one soon.
5. "I want to tell you sumpin." You say this all the time.
6. It is both incredibly adorable and incredibly frustrating that you have become a skilled and prolific negotiator.
7. For the longest time I thought you were telling me stories about feeding monsters until I recently realized you were telling me stories about defeating monsters.
8. I love reading books with you at bedtime and I love watching your interest in them and your pre-literacy skills grow and grow.
9. You knock me over with the immediate adoration you showed for your sister. You exclaim often about how cute she is. Sometimes I think you might have fallen harder and faster for her than even I did. Just please don't squeeze her so hard.
10. You totally fit your name, Ziggy. Your dad and I nailed that.
Love Always,
Mama
