To Our Firstborn:

In a few days we will hopefully be bringing home your little brother and your new role as "big brother" will begin. Our lives have been so blessed since you arrived in our arms 3 years and nine months ago. We had no idea what we were doing, but so far we've made it through. I can't wait to see if your little brother will share your button nose, stubby toes, and lively green/brown eyes. We love every bit of you! You are smart, and your love and gift for books, letters, numbers, and puzzles amazes me. I love that you prefer trains over sports. It makes me smile that you love funny sounding words and repeating them all day long just to make yourself laugh, SWAP. You are kind and compassionate. You pick up on others feelings so easily as if you know exactly how they feel. You are so good to play by yourself when I need a break and I know that this will help your imagination to grow even more. You don't like to perform and sing songs, but I will catch you throughout the day singing your own made up songs, today it was about cheesy potatoes. Thank you for always being willing to give hugs and kisses and to say "I love you" when I really need to hear it. I know that you will be a great big brother because you love to help me and you love babies. I can't wait to see you and your brother reunited again and I hope you know that we love you very much!
Love, Mom and Dad
