You were born. After being two weeks overdue and 18 hours of trying to get you here, I wondered if you would really ever come. But then you came... at 6:36pm and I became a mother. And it was love at first sight as I held you in my arms for the very first time. You were perfect! You were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! Oh Crew, now five years later I love you more than ever. You have grown into the sweetest little boy! You can melt my heart with your hugs and kisses (oh I love that you still loves those- please don't ever stop ok!) You are thoughtful and kind. And the best brother to Jack (he is so lucky to have you).
You love all things cars.
You want to be a Dominican when you grow up ... and you try really hard to talk like your Dominican buddies saying, "Crew Da-DDY!" just like them.
You love all animals, especially dogs and cats.
You love all sports and are really good at basketball!
You can read!!
You love your curly hair!
You really want glasses- and ask anyone who is wearing them if you can have them!
You love your accessories... Dominican braclets and necklaces!
You can write all of your letters and numbers and draw the best pictures!
You still love your vegetables... all kinds! Fresh, canned, or baby food you love them all!
You will jump into the pool or off of a dock into the ocean (you wouldn't do this last year!)
You love things clean and organized.
Your favorite color is RED!
Your favorite food is Pancakes and Pineapple Pizza!
Your favorite juice is Mango Pineapple!
Your favorite movie is Cars!
You love wrestling with Daddy... and Jack!
You love to snuggle.
You will creep out of your bed just to sneak another hug and kiss from me!
You have lovely golden curly locks and everybody LOVES them.
You love to sing... all day long!
You say the best prayers!
You have the sweetest testimony!
You love to play with your cars outside on the balcony!
You are a good helper! You will pick up your toys or help play with Jack when I need you to.
You are outgoing. (We will be walking down the street and some random car drives past and someone -who I don't know- yells out the window, "CREW!")
You think of everyone as your friend!
You come up with the best knock-knock jokes! My favorite...
Crew: knock- knock
Grandma L: who's there?
Crew: Crew
Grandma L: Crew who?
Crew: Crew in the house- ooh-ooh!
You love to make people laugh. You keep us rolling with the funny things you say.
Just the other day we had the missionaries over for dinner. One of the missionaries was trying to make you guess that he was from China. He hinted by asking you where all of your toys were made? You replied... "THE NORTH POLE!"I think the best part of it was when you told the missionary (who is on the shorter side) that he looked like he should live at the North Pole! Classic Crew moment!
You are you.
I hope you never forget who you are or try to be someone your not. You are perfect just the way you are!
Crew, I am so glad you are mine. I love every ounce of you! I love how you make me laugh everyday. I love those adorable curls on your head. I love your silly, outgoing, kind personality!
I love you to the moon and back! Happy Birthday my little Crewbers!
