My sweetest Simon turned four years old early this June. We celebrated with friends in our back garden with hotdogs, cake, and a pinata.
Simon is an old soul. He is peculiar, silly, and excentric. He’s shy around new folks but loud and boisterous when he feels comfortable. Simon is careful, and he is cautious. Simon exudes joy everywhere he goes. He loves to bake with me, pick flowers, play baseball, His Golden Messenger, his new friend Zephyr, and most of all his new brother Amos. Simon finishes every single sentence with ……right? His voice is so high-pitched it could crack a pane of glass. His current favorite outfit is his pirate pants with his preschool shirt. He is a super clever guy. He is kind, and sweet, and sensitive. Tyler and I prayed that he would grow in confidence this year. That prayer was answered ten-fold.
He calls himself my medium-sized baby. Simon has grown leaps and bounds this year. I will never forget his third year of life and what a delight he was. I wish he could stay little forever, but alas, one more year down and closer to that not being my reality. I love you, my Si.
