my precious steiner is seven. our little trailblazer. an ironclad will. don't tell me i can't. and believe me we wouldn't. feisty. daring. ask a million questions. unflinching. unmistakably wild boy. your heart is gold and it fills every room. the way you get your words mixed up but we don't correct you because it's so darn cute. they could search the world for more try and not find it. you are endearing. rambunctious. sensitive. rocket fueled. you have an innate confidence. you keep our days loud and unpredictable. but you are exactly what our hearts beat for. this year has brought a lot of change. you became a big brother. you are obsessed with her. and her with you. no one makes your eyes light up like she can. more recent. you moved. changed schools. unsure but brave. and you are killing it. already changing hearts there. on the first day you challenged everyone to a foot race. only stein. i love the way you chew. your little raspy voice. your great big smile. and how you look at your momma. look up to your daddy. and want to be just like stone. you have this white streak hidden in the back of your hair. i think God put it there to remind us how special you are. you are both the thunderstorm and rainbow. you make life brighter. a constant adventure. riding your dirt bike barefoot. fishing in your creek. or sitting in the throne with haze at your party because that is what you do only for her. i wish everyone loved like you. your passion could move mountains. i am so lucky to get to love you. we all have a soft spot for you. you are by far the youngest on your football team but they don't mess with you. you are fiery. full out and watch this. and in steiner fashion you make sure we all did and remember. your rowdy spirit has changed me. i pray you never stop telling me how much you love me. or asking me if i will be there. never stop being you buddy. you are a gift. i pray you use your fire to live out the gospel. your daddy is a perfect example of that. follow his lead. protect and adore your momma. forgive freely. love with all you have and then some. i am always in your corner. cheering you on. loud and bold. with all i have. i love you 🤎 giddy
