Dear Malcolm,
When you were born three years ago, nine weeks early your dad and I were so scared. We didn’t know if you would be ok and every day of those long three weeks you were in Nicu we cuddled you and talked to you and spent as much time with you as we could until you were strong enough to come home. I should have know there what a strong boy you would become.
Even at 3 you know your own mind so well. You are kind. When Adam is crying because you have a toy he wants, without me even asking sometimes you will go over and give the toy to Adam and ask him if he’s ok. You are a true Filipino boy and love rice mixed with any protein, especially fish. You also LOVE lots of syrup on your pancakes and waffles and make sure to dip each bit in the plate to get as much syrup as you possible can. Speaking of breakfast you love to make my coffee for me. You put in the milk and sugar and mix it all around. You are smart, you can already build lego towers and love books more than anything. You are snuggly and want to be as close to me as possible. You love when I give you loads of kisses and always ask for more. You love to give kisses too and have the cutest little kiss.
Your favorite phrases this month are:
- Adam- you my best friend.
- I lub you so so so so so so so much.
- I mean to mommy. (Meaning, I am mad at mommy, usually because he’s only allowed to watch one Octonauts or one chocolate instead of a hundred)
- Don’t talk to me, I’m doing work
- That be funny.
For such a special little boy that we all love we made sure to celebrate Malcolm’s birthday all day long.
Happy Birthday Malcolm!!
