Happy 4th Birthday, Clark!

 

It's official.  My silly, tall, thin, imaginative joker is FOUR today!!!! 

It almost breaks my heart to think how fast these four years have gone.  Just "yesterday" he was a baby.

Now he's a big brother and has chores.  Next he'll be driving a car.  EEEEKKKK!!!

Clark is an amazing boy.  His sweet tender heart makes mine melt.   He's the kind of kid who says hello to everyone and makes small talk with all.  He looks people in the eye and introduces his family just like a big person.  He makes everyone feel welcome in our home by his hospitality.  At church one day, he offered his chair to a late comer who didn't have a seat.  What a sweetie pie!!!

He is a peacemaker.  He is constantly seeking peace and justice.  When Michael and I get into a debate, Clark is the first to remind us to be nice to one another.  He is always seeking mediation between friends fighting over toys.   He has taken on the role of big brother/protector already. 

When we named him, I had a vision in my heart of a boy/man who would make the world a better place by helping others and standing up for justice just like Clark Kent.   In his short four years, he has already made this world more friendly, colorful, and peaceful. 

So happy birthday to my little Super Man.
