Happy (Late) Birthday Little Levi


I have so many pet names for you, and you answer to them all!
Little Lee
Wee One
Pooh
Boo
My Toothless Wonder
My Little Prince

You are such a little clown and you keep your Momma and Daddy laughing daily! The picture is from when you called me into the bathroom while you were showering.

You are also SO gentle and compassionate. Just the other day one of your friends gave you a brand new Bak-u-gon. I asked you why he gave you that. You told me that the week before you had given him 2 of yours. You didn't even think twice about giving away something that was precious to you! I am so proud of you!

But, you are also so strong willed and stubborned! Just the other day I sent all three of you boys to your rooms to read for 10 minutes. You got to the top of the steps and said "I want to stay for 20 minutes". FINE!!! Then you said " I will stay in my room for 60 minutes" FINE!! So, an hour later I let you out of your room and asked you how your time was. I was SHOCKED by your response... "It was great, I loved being all alone. I think I will spend an hour a day in my room so I can get some peace." Well, that didn't work! I was so frustrated that it didn't even phase you. Then you remembered that your brothers had gotten 2 Lemon Heads while you were in your room so you asked for some. I knew at that moment that not getting two Lemon Heads would be much more painful to you then spending an hour by yourself. So, I didn't give you any. Just as I expected, you were devastated. Son, I want you to understand that there are consequences for our words and our actions.

I think the highlight of your year was when we went shopping to get some new gym shorts. You tried on a size 4 and you literally had to hold them up. You told me you had seen a pair and you knew they would fit. You took off towards the Toddler section and returned with a pair of 4T shorts! Of course they fit perfect and you thought it was hilarious that you were almost 8 and you could still shop in the baby section. Yep, there is a reason I call you Little Lee.

Happy Birthday my little Prince.
