Letter to my 4-year old!

Jacobi, today you turn 4 years old! I'm so happy you're 4 but I'm also so sad that you're already 4. I really feel like you were just born! I honestly remember everything from the day you were born! I will never forget the day you were gifted to us from God!

Your first year of life was quite hard on all of us. You cried and cried and cried, all the time for the first 4 months. The only thing that calmed you down was bouncing in your bouncy seat. We bounced you in it so often that it broke and we had to make a midnight run to Walmart to buy another one. It became a running joke because I wouldn't leave the house without your bouncy seat!
From about 5 months on you were such a happy baby! You started sitting the day you turned 6 months old, crawling at 8 months and walking at 10 months! Always ahead of the curve!

You became a big brother before you even turned 2 years old. You loved your brother from day 1 and although you're far too rough with him while playing, you're just as protective when the need arrises!

And you had a little sister before you turned 3 years old! Again you were a great big brother to her! You still love on her to this day!

And once again, you became a big brother for the third time right before your 4th birthday! You've taken to your littlest sister so sweetly! You're such a big helper!

You are my firstborn and you know it! You love to take the lead & be in charge. You've got a lot of responsibility because your younger Brother & Sisters look up to you & follow your example.

I'm so stinkin' proud of you! You're potty training and doing very well! Because you have had many seizures you've had some setbacks, including potty training, but you're picking it up!

You're such a sweet boy! Always looking after your Baby Sister & wanting to hold her. You're rough & tumble but able to comfort when the time comes. You love your Siblings!

We're so blessed to call you our Son! We pray you're healthy, happy & drawn closer to the Lord everyday during the rest of your life! It's been a great 4 years being your Mama!
