Dear John Mark,

I can't believe that you're a great BIG four-year-old and I'm trying desperately not to burst into tears every time I think about you growing up.  Here's a rundown of your current stats and activities.

Physical Stats:
-Height: 45 1/8", 100%
-Weight: 46 pounds, 96%
-Shoe size: 13.5 or 1
-Shirt size: 5/6
-Pant size: 6 slim

You love:
-your grandparents
-going to bebe & poppy's
-candyland
-yogurt
-scooby-doo
-slushies
-corndogs
-singing silly songs you make up
-EVERYTHING superhero... especially IronMan and Wolverine
-dressing up in your superhero costumes
-the phrases "oh brother" and "haha, very funny"
-girls with curly hair (seriously)
-swimming
-chick-fil-a

You DON'T love:
-peas!
-sitting still
-being called a baby, or even little boy
-taking naps
-staying inside (unless you're watching scooby-doo!)
-spiders, unless they've been captured

Words to describe you:
happy, kind, smart, funny, quick, curious, handsome, TALL, loving, strong, great with adults, easy

Narty-noo, I love you so very much.  These four years have flown by and it feels like yesterday you were brand new.  I thank God for you everyday, and ask Him to keep you safe and strong.  But more than that, I ask that He would start instilling in you now a love for Him and the things of Him.  You are everything I could have ever asked for in a little boy.  I'm so glad God gave me you.

Love,
Mommy
