Dear Mini-Man,

I have so much to say to you! So many things I want you to know, and to hear. So many memories I can't wait to remind you of when you're older. I'm a very silly Aunt, and so I decided to write you a letter.

Just the other day, I was hanging out with you (because you're so cool nowadays.) and I was watching you, and my first thought was "When did you grow up??" All the sudden you went from a pudgy little guy to a tall, very silly four year old with an extensive vocabulary and even more extensive imagination. You crack jokes, memorize Scripture, and sing your heart out. You love your superheroes, music, and being the center of attention! (It's ok baby, I was the same way :))


It feels just so recently, that you were a little guy with your "airplane" and "Andy boots" on! I don't miss that baby, because I am so enjoying you now, but I do wonder where he went. All the sudden you're a man, trapped in a little body. (Hence your recently received nickname, Mini-Man). You apparently are quite captivating for your Sunday school class, and I admit, I'm quite jealous I don't get to sit under your theology. Our Father thought highly of childlike faith little boy, so keep it. Keep it close and strong.

You have always been a lot of fun.You know how to be totally impractical (only when it fits with your game ;)). You're a super special kind of guy. You help me see every time I'm with you, what's important, and what is passing. You melt my heart when you take my face between your little hands and talk to my face, when you tell me "no we can do that later, just sit with me" or when you tell me how silly I am. I must be doing something right as an aunt :)

Baby, you melt my heart! I just love you, soooo much! I love that you take off running to hug me, (and squeeze my face). I love that you tell me I'm crazy. I'm in love with all your Beetoe-isms. I love your Happy-go-lucky, sweet heart. I love that you are just wonderful! I LOVE YOU Little Mister!
