My boy {my life}

 

Tonight I said, “good-night my 5 year old, tomorrow you’ll be my 6 year old.”  And he smiled at me.  Six years ago I had no idea how much my heart would change.  I also had no idea how long it would now take me to run errands, or clean the house, or dry my hair, or get dressed.  But there’s nothing I would change about the last 6 years.  Something about the last 6 years has changed me.  This boy has completely taken over my heart.  I’m thankful for all he has taught me and continues to teach me.  He reminds me daily that nothing is more important than spending time together.

This afternoon when he got home from school, he climbed up on my lap and told me all about his day.  How this boy said this to Mrs. Haughn, how he almost tripped walking back to class, how he looked for a sucker for Samuel in the treasure box but there wasn’t one and how sometimes he just likes to play by himself at recess (he totally gets that from his Dad).  I asked him if he would still climb on my lap when he turns 12. He thought for a second. Then pointed out that he’ll be much taller than me by then, so I can sit on his lap  : )  I love him.

Happy Birthday my little Mikey. I love you up to the moon and back.

Love Deeply.
