a brother's love

Dear sweet Carson,
Words cannot express how excited your brother is that you are turning four this Friday.  I'm pretty sure he's just as excited...if not more...than on his birthday.  He's been making you special cards and hiding them for a month.  Telling you he loves you & he's so proud of you.  Praising you for doing things like keeping self- control because "you are almost four."  Worrying about all the little details of the party.  Wanting to be the perfect "bellman" at your party.  He'll be the only boy there and is over the moon excited about his big JOB of taking care of all you little girls.  He wants to wear a special shirt with a tie just for you.  He went with your daddy and spent a long long time picking out your perfect Tangled doll.  The one with the shoes and mirror because he knew how much you'd love it.  He ran to me and had to secretly give me every single detail of your special gift.  He told me which card he wanted to give you "right when you wake up."  He has everything planned out...just to make you feel like the most special little girl on the planet.
He is a giver, a protector, and no doubt one of your biggest fans.  You are one lucky sister.
Love you more than the sky & back,
Mama

How my heart melts at this sweet letter. What a wonderful big brother he is. Sounds like my "twins" separated by two years. They don't know what to do without each other. Happy Birthday to the big girl and way to go mom for raising such sweeties.
