Happy 5th Birthday, Bryce!

Dear Bryce,

Happy 5th birthday to you! What a great year it's been! You have learned so much, done so much, and stayed the sweetest little guy there is. It's a good thing you're five now, because people were not believing me any more when I said you were a four year old-- you're huge now!

You have gone from liking cars and superheroes to being a little obsessed with Star Wars. You want to talk about it, ask questions about it, and have lightsaber duels about 95% of your day. This isn't a bad thing, because most other little boys seem to be the same way right now, so you fit right in! You love Legos, and are constantly making the most creative ships and having battles with your Lego men. You can also put a Lego set together in record time.

You and Chris have the most special brother relationship. Yes you fight occasionally (ahem...), but you also really love each other. You talk for hours and hours about your own worlds (right now it's Lego Land), and make up the silliest stories. You really love each other, and it makes us so happy! You are also such an amazing brother to Audrey. She adores you, and you always say she's your very favorite person in the world. She's able to play with you a little more now that she's getting older. The other day you were letting her knock you down, and you both would laugh so hard. It's one of my most favorite memories. You are the  perfect middle child, and we hope you know how much we appreciate the love you show to your siblings.

You are still such a smarty pants. Your teacher always says you really get it. You can count super high, figure out lots of math problems, and you're starting to be able to read some words and spell. Your handwriting is awesome too! 

Your favorite songs are "Boom, Clap", "The Yoda Song", and "Hello". You are a really good dancer, and love to listen to music. Your favorite baseball team is the Yankees. Your favorite tv show is anything Star Wars related. We always have so much fun together during the day, and I'm going to be so sad when you leave for kindergarten!

Bryce, we are so proud of you! It's hard to believe five years have passed since we strolled a tiny newborn out of Beth Israel hospital and into crazy NYC. We love everything about you, and can't wait to see what five has in store for you! Thank you for being you-- a light and pure joy to our family.


All of our love,
Mom and Dad
