Happy Birthday (almost) to my sweet little boy. Not much baby left in him, but he will always be my baby. M-Kid is growing into the most wonderful little boy. Being his mother is such a joy. He brings all kinds of smiles to my face. He gets smarter by the minute and really surprises us! This morning, they had a little mini-birthday celebration for him at his preschool. They made him a birthday crown and everyone sat in a circle and sang Happy Birthday to him. He also got birthday cookies and blew out a candle! The best part was when the teachers asked the children to volunteer and say something nice about him. There was a "I like his crown" and a "I like his shirt" and a "He's so handsome" but my favorite one of all was when this little girl said "He has a beautiful heart" She just about nailed it right there. I got a little tear in my eye.
So, one of my favorite songs came on this morning, and it is very suiting for the occasion. The lyrics are really very touching and really sums up what I would like to say to him each and every birthday he has.
My Wish (by Rascall Flatts)
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window,
If it's cold outside,show the world the warmth of your smile,
More than anything, more than anything, my wish, for you,
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more then you take.
Love you always and forever my sweet baby boy - Gift from God.
On another very personal note…I am turning 30. It seems like such an official age to be. Like I am supposed to be “all grown up” now which I guess in many aspects I am. Even though I still feel like a teen sometimes. I vow to never really “grow up.” I do have to say, that I have everything and have done everything I wanted to do by the time I was 30. Of course, there are lots more adventures to be had.
I would like to give some thanks to very important people in my life. Thank you Mom for bringing me into this world. Thank you Dad for being there. Thank you to my parents for raising me – I would have to say you did a pretty darn good job! I have fond memories of my childhood. It seems so long ago!
