9 years old!

Dear Jack,

Today is your 9th birthday! And it’s going to be pretty special…

A month ago our family took a fun little road trip to Noccalula Falls, where you specifically loved the petting zoo. Though you have been asking Mommy and me for the past several months for a pet lizard, it wasn’t until you mentioned getting a hamster instead, that for some reason, we were both instantly cool with it.

So today, on your 9th birthday, our family will get a pet for the first time ever!

I think this dwarf hamster is going to be lot of fun for you, as well as provide the right amount of responsibility for you.

Happy Birthday Jack. I love you!

Love,

Daddy
