Dear Carson,
You’re 3 years old! Where has the time gone? It seems like
yesterday we were waiting on your arrival. Now you’re such a big boy! Watching
you grow over the last year has been so much fun!
It’s been neat to see you become so comfortable in our new
home, in our new city, and with our new church family. What a fun treat it is
to live in such a fun place and have such a loving church family. We’ve had fun
going and enjoying many of the perks of living in the Atlanta area: the zoo,
the aquarium, the children’s museum, and Braves games. Your excitement at
experiencing these fun places and events makes the experience even more fun for
me and for your mama!
As I think back over the last year we’ve begun doing lots of
fun things together. We check the mail together each evening after I come home
from the office. You help me when I cook food on the grill. We watch basketball
together. We listen to music together. You sit in my lap and watch concerts
with me (your favorite is Trombone Shorty). We read books together. We make music together with your harmonica,
your pitchpipe, your xylophone, and your drums. I love for you to be my helper
to go shopping; we go to Kroger and Sam’s most of all. You especially like the
car shopping carts at Kroger!
It’s amazing how much you’ve changed. You’ve slimmed up and
grown taller. Your vocabulary has expanded exponentially. You know so many
songs (your mama and I estimate you probably know significant portions of a
couple hundred songs). Your imagination has continued to become more and more
vivid. Your creativity has developed a lot, too.
My favorite thing about you is how much you love people. You
care for everybody you know. If friends are sick, you want to check on them and
help them. If people are sad, you want to cheer them up. When I come home each
day, you always ask me about my day and tell me about yours. But perhaps the
greatest example of your love for people is the way you’ve welcomed Charlie to
our family. You have been so sweet and loving to him, and he loves you so much.
Carson, I am so thankful for you! I love you so, so much!
Love,
