It is such a treat to see your smiling face when you wake up in the morning. From the moment your eyes open, you are a ray of sunshine. Your excitement and enthusiasm for everything you do is amazing. I love listening to you talk about your ideas, your creative spirit shining through.
I am proud of you. You are strong and sensitive. You are a wonderful and caring big brother to your two lucky siblings. They look up to you. You think of their needs and share (mostly) with them. You are a wanderer, and I love that (most of the time). Your free spirit and curiousity lead to some amazing artworks, stories, and ideas, that I just love seeing and hearing about.
When you woke up this morning, so excited to finally be a six-year-old, I couldn't believe how quickly the last six years have gone by. It feels like just yesterday, that I was holding you in my arms, brand new, with all the hope in the world that you would turn into just the sort of kid that you have become.
You are one of a kind, Elliott. I love you so very much.
Mama
