Even though you were an unexpected blessing in our lives, the first time I heard you cry on the night you were born, I thought to myself, "I have heard that cry...I know that cry...his name is Avery". Watching our determined little boy grow and develop so much during his first year brought us so much happiness and joy. I accepted the role of "mom" that year and I haven't looked back since. Thank you.

You turned one and all of a sudden became a little person to us. You showed compassion and empathy at such a young age, astounding strangers with your gentle awareness and sensitivity. Your humor and cheerful disposition have brightened our days since. Thank you.

You became a big brother right before you turned two. You welcomed your little sister into your home and your family with such love and graciousness. Squabbles come and go but the fierce love and protectiveness for your sister has not. Thank you.

Aaaah...the year you turned three. With your speech much more developed this year, your words added a whole new dimension to your humorous antics. You also started showing another element to your sweet and gentle personality: I will call it spunk and I will thank your sister for it. But even with the new competitiveness and sibling rivalry this year brought, you still remained a gentleman through it all. Thank you.

Four years with my Avery. Four years with my little boy. You are such a creative child, always developing unique stories and scenarios to act out, and finding tons of different ways to use your toys and all of the daily items that surround you. You are so inquisitive and are constantly seeking to understand everything around you. You have such a big heart and touch those around you. Since your birthday four years ago, you are still bringing unmeasurable amounts of joy and light into our lives. And for that, I thank you.
I love my little man.
