As I bid adieu to your third year, I find myself reminiscing about the joyous moments we’ve shared. Together, we’ve crafted forts that sparked our imaginations, built sandcastles kissed by the waves, and constructed towering structures that seemed to reach the heavens. We’ve journeyed to distant places, embracing adventures that filled our hearts with laughter and excitement.
Your innocent spirit perceives a universe brimming with enchantment—limitless and expansive. I feel incredibly fortunate to witness the world through your eyes. When I grasp your tiny hand, a wave of pure wonder rushes over me, a delightful tingle that brightens my soul.
You remain blissfully unaware of time, living entirely in the present. You’re not great at keeping secrets, but your ability to deliver warm snuggles, Eskimo kisses, and your honest opinions is unmatched. Your straightforwardness is refreshing.
You eagerly anticipate growing older, while I wish I could pause time to keep you as my small, wild adventurer a little longer, stealing just a bit more of your magic.
As you embark on your journey beyond 3, I’ll watch you set sail on the pirate ship we built together, bidding farewell to the imaginary friends we’ve outgrown—furry monsters, playful puppies, and colorful guppies, now replaced by ninjas and superheroes.
My dear child, if only you understood the true worth of the imagination you so willingly trade for age. Each birthday draws you nearer to the realities of life; with every passing year, you will learn more and believe a little less.
And so, I cautiously say hello to 4. Please forgive my hesitation in fully welcoming you. I know you will be wonderful, and I look forward to our adventures together. Just give me a moment, for there was a boy—an incredible boy—I fell in love with over the past year, and together we created countless forts, sandcastles, and towers that almost touched the clouds.
