Christmas is coming! And your birthday too!

Dear Liam,
It's almost December! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and before we know it, Christmas will be here, and then your fifth birthday too! How is this possible?! We drove to WI for an early Thanksgiving with my family over the weekend. You had so much fun. I love to see you play with your aunts and uncles. They all love you so much. You learned how to play Uno and Sorry this weekend, and I think you're hooked! You were a very good boy in the car on both the way there and the way home, even with the drive home taking longer than normal due to some snow. You watched movies and colored, and didn't "freak out" at all like you did on our last trip there. (You told me numerous times, "Mommy! I'm not freaking out!" It was pretty hilarious.)

I'm still not sure what you'll be getting for Christmas or your birthday. I'd like to buy you a big boy bike, but it seems mean to give you a gift that you won't be able to use for a few months, due to the winter weather. I've bought you a few things so far... but definitely need to pick up a few other things.

You're starting to read, and it's amazing! You're learning your sight words, and you're starting to understand that (most of the time) when two words look similar/end in similar letters, then they sound similar too. I love seeing your brain working. I can't wait for you to be able to read on your own. You are going to love it!

I love you so much, sweet boy.
Mommy
