**For the past two months, I've been writing letters to you on each birthday. However, this letter is different from the rest.**
Dear son:
I can't believe that 5 years ago on this date at 12:12 noon you came into this world. Today you are turning 5 years old! Where has time gone by?
I look at you, and see how much you've changed physically since the day you were born. You look a lot like your Papi, though you're a much better version! However, when it comes to personality I have to admit that you're very much like your Mami!
You're a determined and strong-willed child. This will be helpful as you get older, because you will not allow obstacles to sway you from your goal. You will find a way to reach them, and look for alternatives. At your age, I'm pretty amazed on how you tend to do that a lot. You're also a problem solver. For instance, I remember offering to volunteer to read story time at your school, but I lost my voice. I was going to cancel but you offered to
"read" the book while I showed the animals.
I love that you question everything! You're inquisitive, and a very smart boy. Not saying this because I'm your mom :) but because it's true! You're a very hands on little boy, always willing to help and contribute! I hope you're still that way when you're 14 yrs. old!
