Dear Bently,

In an hour and half we will be entering a new year. A big year for you. You will be turning 5 and entering kindergarten! 2015 was a pretty good year, but I'm really hoping 2016 is even better! Every year I get with you kid is such a blessing. You are maturing and growing at an alarming rate. I took your picture today and you looked so tall. I had to look back out from behind the camera to see if you were really that tall or if the camera was distorting the image. Nope, you really were just a big kid. You are quickly leaving your young years and entering full on big kid. It breaks my heart and makes me happy. Watching your children grow up is such a bitter sweet feeling. I love watching you learn and grown and mature but I hate it all at the same time. I love you with all my heart my sweet boy. You make me smile every single day and I am forever grateful I get to call you mine! Happy 2016 little man! I can't wait to see what this next year brings!

Love,
Mom

P.s. You always call me Mommy. I love hearing it every single time! I one hundred percent don't mind if you always call me mommy, because you will always be my little man!
