My Wish - Rascal Flatts
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Man...You are Five.
Five. Alive.
Four seems like yesterday -
But three wasn't too long ago either...
And two? Can we really be three years past that?
Because I am pretty sure I was just planning your first birthday party...
I can hardly believe it myself...but it's true ~ Five. Years. Old.
What an amazing roller coaster we've been on...mostly up...mostly, KEEPING up, really I suppose.
From your arrival three and a half weeks early...you've just never ever really stopped...
Your days begin far earlier than they should -
It's not uncommon to hear 'Mom? Mom...When is tomorrow going to be ready?' - At about 5:30 am...
I can sometimes hold you off for an hour, and on really special occasions, you will sleep in til around 7...It's almost heaven like when that happens!
Running, digging, playing, skating, swimming,
baseball, basketball, base jumping off the couches...
Moving. Moving. Moving.
Always in a constant state of motion you are...
Even in your sleep...We hear you giggling out loud.
Lots of fitful giggles, all out belly laughs!
Oh how I wish I knew what you were dreaming about - You are never able to tell us...but from the sounds of things - it's mostly good.
How on earth you fall asleep so soundly...and dream such marvelous dreams when it's all we can do to get you asleep by 11 pm a lot of nights...and you are up by 6 or 7 most days...well, yikes!
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small...
You love playing baseball with Daddy.
You used your own money to buy an amazing set of wrenches at Menards this summer - real wrenches...and you love to help out around the house. Both WITH your tools...and without. You are my buddy in the kitchen - always helping with the recipes...tasting everything along the way...including fresh green peppers and other random stuff! You'll try anything - twice!
You....you HATE...losing. When I say HATE...I'm talking...H.A.T.E....losing.
I'm not so sure what we are going to do about this - but me oh my oh me...
Not taking first place sends you into fits...sometimes tears, sometimes just plain anger 'There is NO SECOND PLACE' aye aye aye...
After months and months of asking...and you promising me that you won't ever look in the barrel and you won't ever point it at anyone...We finally caved and agreed to let the nerf gun go on your Christmas list...
was hitting school....Because when you are five, you can go to school!
Now that you are officially five - you just don't understand why you AREN'T going to school - and continually ask me how much longer...
(Why do we tell our children they will go to school when they are five?)
It's going to be a long 8 months isn't it little man?
You are soo ready for new challenges - I can't wait to watch you learn & grow in your new environment!
Here's to having fun, making memories...and all of your wishes and dreams coming true...
We love you Derek Robert.
xxoo
Your Mama...
