My favorite things about Finn are too numerous to list, but include the fact that he the BEST big brother in the world.  He is caring and considerate.  This year, there is a boy named Jacob in his class that is super sweet but a little in-your-face and faces some developmental challenges.  He would always get right in Finn’s face every morning saying hi.  At first Finn told me he didn’t like Jacob, but he was still going to be nice to him.  So I told him I was proud of him for being nice to this boy, and reminded him we should be kind to everybody, even to people who aren’t our favorites.  Well now at the end of the school year, Finn is friends with Jacob and invited him to his birthday party (and everyday Jacob reminds me how much fun he had at Finn’s party).  This story is just a little sample of who Finn is.  He just has a big heart.  He gets along with everyone and people gravitate toward him because of it.

He is my favorite little boy in the world.   When I was 10 years younger and dreaming of having a baby, the angels took all my hopes and dreams and turned them into this little boy.

Happy birthday, Finn.  I love you more than you’ll ever know.
