We celebrate 5

Hmmm.

5.

You have been excited for this day for the last 6 months.  5 to a mommy says, “Bye-bye cutesy little years, hello big boy years.  Ready or not, here I am.”

So I say back to five, “Bring it on.”

You are something else.  Truly you are.

You are tender yet tough.  Your eyes tell a story of adventure.

The highlights of my days are the special moments we share.  The walks to the bridge to talk.  I love when you say, “So what do you want to talk about?  Worker mans?  Or what?”  I love to give you snuggle tickles at night and watch you squirm in delight.  I love the way you ask for “yogret” or a “little i-cream”

I love that your body can still fit in my lap and I can hold you close.  I love that you will still lay on me and snuggle.  And I love that your sweet little hand still fits fully inside mine.

The Lord has great plans for you and I can’t wait to watch them unfold.

I will love you forever.

Happy 5th birthday, Andrew.  I love your heart.  I love your will.  I love watching the Lord work in your life.  You are a true blessing and I thank God for your precious life.
