Pudge, Pudgie, Peyt, Peyton,
Today is your 4th Birthday and I can't believe it. The names above are all nicknames I've tried to make stick on you but it's been hard. However you do answer to Pudge sometimes. I'm a big fan of nicknames (It's a Mooney Player thing, I'll explain more when you're older). Your favorite two things right now are Monster Trucks and Race Cars and Mommy is right it's my fault. A few months ago you and I went to Monster Jam and you loved it, you really liked Monster Mutt and just a couple of weeks ago me, you and Grandpa went to a race in Greenville. It was awesome, you weren't scared at all. You even made us sit on the very front row. I loved watching you wave your checkered flag. I plan on taking you back this summer. This afternoon you get to drive your first go-cart at Frankie's Fun Park toddler race track. I can't wait to watch you rough drive that go-cart and win your first race.
Mommy is right about your gentle spirit, you are very much a Moma's boy and I wouldn't change that for the world. I was a Moma's boy too and I think it is sweet that you love Mommy so much. I know for a fact that Mommy loves that about you too. When you were born the first thing Mommy said to you was "I have waited for you so long" and then you nestled into her arms. Then a few minutes later you were being passed around like a Florida football because you were the first grandchild on Daddy's side of the family and you were Grandma and Grandpa's first grandchild from their daughter. It was a very special day because you really took the scenic route to get here. Mommy and Daddy had to wait 2 whole years before we got the good news that Mommy was having a baby then an idiotic Doctor tried to tell us that you were not going to make it. So remember this life lesson, when you have an important question seek out the best and the brightest people to answer your question. Daddy didn't give anyone an option and took Mommy to a special group of baby doctors in Greenville who graduated from Duke, not the University of South Carolina Medical School. The good doctors from Duke found you on the ultra-sound and you were about the size of this dot ( . ) and they printed out a picture of you which we put on the fridge. Pudge I know this is rambling but that's what Daddy does best. I love watching you grow up and I can't wait until you and your brother NoNo play football for me. Happy Birthday, I can't wait to get home and "take a kiss and a giant, giant hug". I love you Peyton.
Love,
Daddy
