Happy 3rd Birthday Drew!

Our little Drew,

Oh how 3 years goes by so fast…You are very excited about turning 3, although if anyone asks you usually say you are 4 or 5.  :) Oh so silly.  That silliness has brought our family immeasurable joy.  When we share our highs and lows at dinner every night, you always always make our family laugh.  Whether it is a funny about your day or the fact that you rarely, if ever, have a low, you have added so much to our little family.  You can make your brother giggle a laugh that we never can.  Even though you are the little brother, we know that Luke looks up to you in ways that will only continue as you get older. 

 

I think you are exactly what your Daddy ordered.  You have a love of sports that only a daddy could love.  We don’t go anywhere without you wanting to take a football, baseball or soccer ball.  Your days are spent asking anyone to “pitch” to you.  Every. single. day. you ask to wear a football jersey and a helmet.  You also continuously tell people that your name is “Drew Brees”.

 

We also rarely go anywhere without your superhero cape.  But for every all boy thing you do, there is a softness there.  A sweet, tender side that we never want to see disappear.  Your favorite character from Toy Story is Jessie….because “her my favorite”  Oh how you are an animal lover.  You will sneak downstairs at night, long after we have tucked you in, because you need to give Marley just a little more love.  

Drew, you challenge me daily to be a better parent.  I always say that you are harder for me to figure out because we are so different.  But you have completely and totally changed our lives.  We can say, with no reservations, that you have us wrapped around your finger.  You are fiercely loyal but your love doesn’t always come easy.  You make people earn it, but man oh man, when they do, you love with your whole heart.  

Drew, we have so many dreams and hopes for you…we want you to grow up happy, with a desire to always do the right thing, to continue to see the world, through those big blue eyes, as a world full of possibilities.  With your determination, there is truly nothing you can’t do. 

We pray that you remain strong about your convictions. We pray that you continue to love with your whole heart…it is one of your strongest qualities.  We pray that you continue to have a passion about life.  You live fully every day and we want to see that well into your future.  You are destined for greatness…we can’t wait to sit back and watch the journey of your life.  Whether you become a fireman or a teacher, a musician or a football star, a doctor or a pilot, we are and will always be your hugest fans.  Shoot for the moon little man, it is well within your reach. 

You steal our hearts every single moment.  We love you!

Happy Birthday little buddy!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
