Today you are four. By now we all realize you're made of 50% hockey player and 50% super hero. You are the toughest and most gentle, the kindest and most protective and the sweetest most handsome guy I know. You've been practicing your puck handling, shooting and goalie skills for about 436 days in a row now in the living room and you're running on the ice in those skates. You're gonna be a great hockey player someday little man... you actually already are.
You announced to your entire preschool class that you'd only be inviting the girls to your birthday party because well, "the boys are just too wild mama!". We invited everyone anyway and you had a Blackhawks party with 15 of your wildest friends. Those kids really love you and were the most excited I've ever seen such little people to celebrate your day. Everyone around you is taken by your charm. Your preschool teacher even made you a special Blackhawks birthday crown!
Norah wrote you the best birthday card in the history of sisterly birthday cards. It went like this:
"I love you Clark you are the dest brathr I have ever had. And That is so colle That you are haveing a blackhock brthbay. To: Clark, From: Norah" and on the front she listed the "wild" in first place, the "blackhocks" in second place and the "dacks" in third. Since we dislike the "hungry ducks". Accompanying this was the best drawing of a hockey rink I've ever seen. It was complete with face-off spots, a red penalty box, goal creases and players. She went all out for you!
We've been smitten from the minute we met you and every minute since. Happy 4th Birthday!!!
Love ~ Momma
