Right now as I write this with one hand, my other arm is wrapped around you while we watch another Disney movie, and I look back...

That night in the room with your mother waiting for your arrival was a long one, but the next morning came and you were born. Your little body was swaddled up and you were laying in your mom's arms. Little did I know you would mean so much to me. How could there be such a perfect human? The full head of hair, perfect skin, little fingers, and toes. When I held you for the very first time, I knew at that moment you would shape my world into a better one. Spending all the time I could with you, you became my little best friend. Watching you smile, laugh, make some funny noises, roll over for the first time, start to crawl, and eventually walk, all your little quirks always put a smile on my face. Seeing your smile, and running to me as I walk in the door yelling my name is always a moment I will hold on to.

You are now two and a half years old, and a big brother. I couldn't be more proud of the little human you are. You help your parents, you are such a sweet big brother giving your little brother kisses and hugs. I came into your bedroom yesterday when you were supposed to be napping, and when you saw me and gave me a hug, that is something I will never forget. The feeling never gets old. We made sugar cookies, and you were eating the cookie dough. I knew you were eating the cookie dough, you thought you were being so sly. Teaching you how to make sugar cookies, and decorate for Christmas was for sure an interesting time.

Your pure love for anyone you come across, your love for helping, your innocence, hold onto it. This world is a scary place. I know you are going to grow up fast, you are almost three years old already. I want you to know that you are always going to have a special place in my heart no matter how far we live apart, where life takes us, you are my first little guy and being your aunt is something I will always be proud of.
