Happy Birthday BOY!

It's hard for me to believe that 9 years ago this little boy was born.  I still remember the anticipation of his arrival.  The fear and anxiety.  And the joy and peace.  9 years ago, I became a Mother, to the most wonderful little boy a Mom could hope for.  He has blessed me with challenges.  With laughter.  With awesome stories.  With patience.  With bravery.  With humility.  With love.  With hope.  With dreams.  With more than I could have ever hoped for.  
I am not sure where the last 9 years went.  Today I wondered how fast the next 9 years would go.  Maybe if I am lucky time will slow down.  Maybe I will remember to take the time to cherish each day a little more.  *I hope!*
 Being Mom to this little boy is the biggest blessing ever.  He is loyal.  He is fiercely independent.  He loves to laugh.  He is great at snuggles.  He loves green, tae kwon do, all things silly, cats, his sister, his dogs, his Dad, and me, he loves life and sees the excitement everywhere he goes.
He loves school.  He loves learning new things.  I love watching his brain work.  It always amazes me how much he really understands.

 He is kind.  He tries to be kind to everyone.  He is sensitive to other people's feelings.  He love Jesus, and Heavenly Father.  And he bears the best testimonies.
 He appreciate my cooking.  Poor kid.  And always tells me it's delicious.
 He's a miracle in my life.  He makes me a better person.  I am in awe of the way this little man is growing up.  
He's not perfect.  But he's sweet.  He loves me.  He's the best boy I could ever wish for.  How blessed I am to be your Mommy!  Happy 9th birthday boy!  Love you.
