Birthday Wish



Roan had a birthday part at Chai Tots, and his teachers asked me to write something they could sing or read to him, describing Roan at age 1 and 2, and what we wished for him at 3. Here's what I wrote:

"Roan was born on November 4, 2008 - the same day our country elected our first black president. It was a day of hope and change and magic.

At 1, Roan was walking and just learning to run. His favorite foods were banana and blueberry smoothies. He loved to read books over and over and again.

At 2, Roan loved to ride his pushbike. He rode it all over the neighborhood, so fast that Mommy had to run to keep up with him! He was so good at puzzles that we nicknamed him Puzzle Man. His favorite toys were his trains and he loved to build tracks for them.

Now Roan is 3. He still loves trains and puzzles, and love to make silly rhymes. He is a gentle soul, but also very loud and talkative. I hope he continues to deepen the friendships he's formed and learn how good it feels to be kind to others."

Here are some more photos from his school party:
