Half Dozen
Posted By Kristabella on April 8, 2008
Today, April 8, is my nephew Noah’s sixth birthday. And because his Auntie is a drunk and went out on Monday night, she didn’t get a chance to post this until he was probably fast asleep with dreams of cupcakes and lots of presents dancing in his head.
Once he gets older he’ll learn to ignore his drunk Auntie that always sits in the corner at family functions with a wine bottle permanently attached to her hand.

Dear Noah,
Today is your birthday and I cannot believe you are already six years old. It seems like just yesterday you were a little baby falling asleep in my arms every time I held you. You are such a little man now and growing up right before our eyes. These six years have just flown by.
I am so lucky to be not only your Auntie, but am also I lucky enough to be your Godmother.
Part of the reason I moved back to Chicago three years ago was because I couldn’t stand seeing you only a few times a year. I wanted to be around to babysit you and play games with you. I wanted to be around to watch you grow up.
And then I moved back and you and I were roomies for six months. And we became the bestest friends an Auntie and a little boy could be. And I loved every minute of it. We played games, ran around outside, sang and watched a lot of Veggie Tales. I would not trade in a minute of those six months for anything.
I watched you become a big brother to your sister Skyler and watched you help out like such a great big brother. Not a mean big brother, like your Daddy was.
Well, maybe not all the time. But I’m sure sometimes she needs to get her head screwed on straight, that sister of yours. And you’re always willing to help, like a big brother should.
You are so smart and such a good kid. You are so enthusiastic and passionate about everything you do, whether it is playing a video game, a game of Candy Lane or learning about dinosaurs. I wish I could harness that energy sometimes and use it instead of caffeine.
I cannot wait to watch you grow up and see all that you can accomplish in your life. I know you will do nothing but great things. I am so, so proud to be your Auntie.
Happy 6th Birthday Noah! I love you!
Love,
Auntie
