Noah at 4.

FROZEN DREAM

{I'll take the dream I had last night
And put it in my freezer,
So someday long and far away
When I'm an old grey geezer,
I'll take it out and thaw it out,
This lovely dream I've frozen,
And boil it up and sit me down
And dip my old cold toes in."}
— Shel Silverstein (A Light in the Attic)

Noah. You at 4, I wish I could freeze in time. You are the sweetest boy I have ever known and I wish I could keep you this age, always. Your mornings are bright eyed and you are always excited for the day. You overflow with I loves Yous and I'll Miss Yous whenever we part ways. You love your dad. And the times you sit together and play legos for hours. Always followed by, "thank you daddy for playing with me", which makes our hearts explode. You are kind to your brother, as much as a big brother can be. And I would never ask for anyone but you, to lead this boy club of 3. You still love to be hugged. And cuddled when you're tired or sad. And I hope this stays the same, even just one year more. You are all boy, with a love for robots, transformers, and legos the most. And are ever so patient with me, as I fumble along through this new world of toys. You at 4, are a constant smile. I couldn't ask for better days then the ones spent with you. These next few years it will be a challenge, trying to navigate 3 boys. But you at 4, you are making it a breeze. Still smaller than others at 4, I think you carry the biggest light. Love you today, tomorrow, and always. And bottling up for the rainy days, how much I adore you at 4.
