Oh my Goose,
9. 9 is halfway done, but I cannot dwell on that because where
would that get us? This past year was full. Full of your joy. Full of your
passion. You still feel your feelings bigger than those around you and that can
be difficult sometimes. But watching you grow never gets old. You are my best
snuggle friend forever and I am so thankful you are mine.
Your faith is so big and watching you learn about Jesus this
year is probably my favorite. Not only did you rock first reconciliation but
your first communion as well. I only teared up a little at the enormous occasion.
To be there with you as you received Jesus for the first time felt really big
to me. And you looked so stinkin’ handsome.
You still like things the way you like them. And you crave
alone time more than most kids your age. I love watching your imagination. You can
entertain yourself with just a few things. If I could bottle up that
imagination I could make a fortune but you’re just you. What a gift it is to
know you and love you.
This year as I transitioned to working you didn’t like it as
much. You have never been a big fan of change and so it doesn’t surprise me
that you would have feelings about this one. Never mind that Dad was home with you
the whole time. This summer is bound to be an adventure as we navigate what
that looks like.
Your first all day program, swim lessons, your first time
going to sleep away camp. No matter what though I will be here rooting for you,
praying for you and being your biggest fan. Like I always say, Jesus loves you the most and
then Mom right behind. That’s it. I am happy to take second place to Jesus but
I still love you more than anyone on Earth. And today is your birthday.
It stinks that you are sick today and couldn’t celebrate in school. I know that was important to you. But I think you are enjoying being at home and playing on your birthday more than you’d let on. Besides, you can bring in those cosmic brownies tomorrow.
9 is bringing you big responsibility with your first pet today! I already love how you love your Betta fish that we haven't even gotten. You're going to be a good pet owner for sure!
Happy Birthday C! I love you!!
Happy Birthday to your boy!!!!!!
