Eight years ago you made me a mama, and life as I knew it was forever changed in the best way. Daddy and I are so proud of how hard you have worked to be the little boy you are today. You are kind, compassionate, persistent, thoughtful, inquisitive, LOVE babies, follow instructions well (mostly), give fabulous full-body hugs, and are always teaching others, including us, to not limit or underestimate you. Even though we still deal with daily frustrations with communication, and sometimes behavior, when the end of the day comes and I'm tucking you in at night, you are the sweetest boy and your unconditional love for your family never fails.
You are still in karate twice a week, took swimming lessons this spring and vastly improved your swimming skills, will play soccer again in the fall, started to learn to ski this past winter, and will continue to do so this season, and love basketball. You went to speech therapy twice a week this summer, and will continue once a week during the school year, and really are making great strides in speech. A few years ago I was worried that you would never talk, and although you still have a long way to go, you will make it happen. I am also expecting big things with reading this year because you are at the cusp of officially becoming a reader.
Some of your favorite things include watching movies - which you are constantly asking to do, but thankfully you have a lot of interests so we can redirect you from too much screen time - go to the park, ride your bike, swim, go to the library, play basketball, listen to music, be with family, and play anything with your siblings, whom you adore.
We love you so much, Myles. Happy 8th Birthday big guy!
Love,
Mom
