I've been trying to figure out all day what to say about my little boy. I don't know where to start.
Alek made me a mom. Alek made me grow up. Without Alek, I don't think I would have survived the worst time in my life. Not only did I survive, I smiled and laughed every day. Alek tells me stories and draws me pictures and makes me cards. Alek cries when I cry. Alek wants to spend time with me. Alek reads stories with me and plays board games with me and dances with me.
Alek has an amazing imagination. Alek is a great big brother. Alek is affectionate and funny. Alek idolizes his dad (Josh). Alek loves to learn. Alek loves to be outside. Alek has more energy than any other three children combined. Seriously.
Alek is very sensitive and can sometimes get upset easily. But he rebounds pretty quickly and easily about 99% of the time. He is a big believer in justice and in questioning everything I say to him.
When Alek believes in something, he defends it. He recently stood up for the right in a situation that would have been scary for just about anyone.
I love Alek. Happy Birthday, little guy. Sorry I don't know how to wax eloquent about you, but nothing I can say would even begin to cover it.

Alek,

Happy B-day Alek!
You rock. Evie and Audrey think you are the best thing ever invented. I asked Evie why she liked you so much and she said, "He's big and he has great ideas!"
To me you will always be Nina!
Love
