Happy Birthday, buddy!!
People told me that having a little boy would turn my calm, quiet world upside down. And, were they ever right!!
You hit the ground running (and I do mean running!) the moment you wake up in the morning…and you don’t stop until you go to bed at night. You keep me on my toes – making sure you don’t climb something, tumble off something, or run into something…all of which you still manage to do on a fairly regular basis. But, you are all boy, and mommy is still learning not to freak out over a few little bumps and bruises.
You constantly challenge me with that strong, stubborn will of yours. (What can I say, you are your mother’s son. Sorry, bud.) And, that keeps me praying that the Lord would draw you to Himself, and mold that stubbornness into something that can be used for His kingdom, and His glory.
But, you also keep us all laughing with your games, your silly faces, and your “old man walk.” And, you are so sweet to your sisters. You adore your baby sister, and look forward to seeing you two grow up together. And, you continue to be Hannah’s shadow…wanting to be wherever she is, doing whatever she is doing.
And, you continue to amaze me with how smart you are! You talk all the time. (Yes, you fit into this family well.) You can name your colors, animals, numbers, and pretty much every piece of construction equipment ever made! (Yes, I’m impressed.)
You absolutely have turned my quiet, girly world upside down. And I am so glad you did!! I can’t imagine our family without you. (And, I don’t want to!)
Happy Birthday, my sweet boy.
