In the wee hours of the morning, four years ago today, you entered the world a full 3 weeks early, a beautiful and plump 8 pounds. My second-born, my son, my bundle of blue. I had no idea what incredible adventure awaited me.
What a memorable journey it's been so far, for the same reasons as "everyone else", as well as for other quite unexpected ones. Our life is unique, you are unique, and things have not always been easy. But we've made it.
We are quite a team- you, me, and your big sister. And just when I think I could not be more proud of you...I am.
Your blue eyes light up the room, and your giggling (and this year, at last, your speaking) is music to my ears. It is hard to remember my world before you.
Happy Birthday to my precious little boy. I celebrate you today- all that you have achieved, all that you are, and all that you will become.
p.s. I will be spending this weekend first with the birthday boy and his sister, and then with all the BlogHer gals. Lots to report back on next week. Enjoy the weekend, everyone.
