6.

 

You're six today. 

 

You came upstairs this morning dressed and ready to go, collar turned up, hair a little spiky.  You like to look sharp for school.  You love school.

 

I was in Zambia for your first day of Kindergarten, and dad sent me this picture.  Not only did you proudly wear this shirt on the first day, but you proudly chose to wear it for picture day too.  Thanks buddy.

 

You're loud and sunny all the time.  We love you.

 

Happy Birthday.

 

Love, Mom
