5 years old.

How did 5 years fly by me so fast? 

You are FIVE now, sweet boy. and it has been the BEST FIVE YEARS I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. 

I love being your mama, and i love you being my son. youre the best brother, son and human I could hope for. 

Thank you for your love and devotion to us. And the special bond we have. 

You not only want to marry your mama, but you want me to be only yours. You get this frustration when mommy and daddy kiss, and you are learning how relationships and interactions work. thanks for working on that and sharing me with daddy; we are so in love and so happy to have you in our lives. thank you changing us for the better. 

you make everything more amazing. 

thank you, thank you, thank you. 

Please never ever doubt my love and devotion to you. 

you will always be my Sonshine.

youre so handsome and a perfect. i love you baby boy.

We picked out the tree today! Mama has a hard time with holidays, and it stems from a less than wonderful past. but I decided that this year Im taking holidays back. Im giving them new meaning. Im jumping in, and changing my thoughts, making traditions. and making memories worth remembering. 

I love you. thank you for loving me and learning with me. 

we can do hard things.

Thanksgiving this year was spent at the backers sixty year anniversary party. You were so handsome in your sweater vest and button up, my favorite look :)
I love you so much.
