Seven. It's hard to believe that when we said yes to you, you were FIVE. That seems so little compared to seven. It's amazing.
The last year has been an incredible year. You have gone through so many things that a child never should have to go too. We've watched you get hurt and disappointed. We've watched you deal with feelings and healthy and good ways. We've held you while you cried. And smiled at your laughing (most of the time....you can get pretty crazy sometimes).
You got thrust into being a big brother. You weren't even used to being a brother yet, let alone a big brother. That is something that is so hard for you Daddy and I to remember. And we've seen you grow in that area too. It still can be hard but you are beginging to think about how you can help your siblings and put them first. And I am so proud of you.
You are also quit the helper. With you height, this is an awesome gift. You have learned to hang laundry on the line with the best of them. Your muscles are growing and you are getting strong. We are also proud of you for this.
This next year is not going to be easy kiddo. There are going to be a lot of things happening that you won't like or understand. We are going to be here for you, to love and support you.
Happy Birthday Sweet Boy. I am so blessed to call you my son!
Love,
Mom
