TO my most precious little man who turns seven today! You my little prince are a such a sweet sensitive little character sent to me from God and I promise I will cherish you forever! Your blonde curls, blue eyes and impossibly to resist smile are game changers. You set the bar so high little man. Your honesty, willingness to follow rules, and zeal for life are so amazing to watch and I know they will continue to blossom.
You are in first grade this year and I adore your love for math, your amazing reading skills and your ability to tell me verbatim what happens at school. You love school because learning is one of your favorite things.
You are still a VERY picky eater!!! Our only fights are at the dinner table! One day sweet guy I pray you enjoy eating and desire to eat more than five foods. Especially when those five foods are different than the way your momma prepares them!
You have tried every sport, except soccer, and although you don't prefer one over the other you just enjoy learning to play different sports and having fun. You have told me more than once that your favorite part of any game is high fiving the other team at the end of each game! AGAIN, such a sweet guy!
Your favorite things to do are do math problems, read, play with your sharp sticks outside, play army and play legos. Your imagination is still out of this world and can be quite overwhelming!!
The last six months of your 6 year have not been the easiest. We've had more heart to hearts than most kids have with their parents by the time they are teenagers. You are inquisitive and have a deep understanding of god, death and bad things that happen to good people. It saddens me you have learned these things at such a young age but our conversations are memories I will cherish forever. You are a protector and these moments have only strengthen this characteristic.
I will end with a prayer for you...
Davis, I pray God's richest blessings on your seventh year. That God will take you on this journey of life and that you will always feel his presence. I pray you will live for HIM and always choose HIM despite what life may offer you. I pray you continue loving the oppressed, sick and hurt. God use Davis for your kingdom and give him wisdom as he goes throughout life, in your son's name...AMEN
The following are pictures of you from birth to seven.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET DAVIS WALKER DOW!!
