1. Your recent obsession with being called "baby monkey" just melts my heart. I love it when I'm in the kitchen cooking, and you run up just to say, "Hi mommy monkey," or "Whatcha cookin', mommy monkey?" So freaking cute.
2. Even though you have been known to show a temper, you are beyond sweet with babies and kitties.
3. Excited is not nearly a strong enough word for how you act when I suggest something you like. I hope I never lose that image of you screaming, "OK!" and running in circles. "Get a drink? OK!" "Go outside? OK!"
4. You have a heightened sense of right and wrong (sometimes it's only perceived wrongs, but you'll figure that out). This causes some tempery issues right now, but it will serve you well later.
5. You say "Hi" to everyone.
6. You aren't afraid to try new words, even if it takes you awhile to get them out.
7. You are always on the move.
8. You are always a bit disheveled. I think it makes you more real, and shows how fun you are.
9. You don't care how steep the hill is. You climb it.
10. You are totally willing to be along for the ride for most of your sister's wild games of pretend.
Oh, that's so sweet. Make sure to save it and email it to yourself when he turns 13.
