Happy Birthday My Boy

My sweet boy, how did we get here? How is it that it's been three years already? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was holding you in my arms for the first time. Your perfect head covered in fuzzy dark hair. And now, you're a little boy. In the blink of an eye you became three years old. 

I love you at this age! You are so funny and smart and curious. You are stubborn and strong willed and independent. You are gentle and kind and full of love. You are such a perfect mix of everything good. 

This year has been a special one. We got to experience you in your most important role yet, big brother. You have far surpassed my hopes and expectations. You are so amazing with your sister. I love how you are so gentle and sweet. I love how you constantly call her "my darling" and "pretty girl". I love how you're always trying to make her laugh. I love how fiercely protective you are and how easily you love her. Thank you for being such an awesome big brother to our baby Poppy. 

Sometimes I have trouble remembering what it was like before I was a mom, and I am SO okay with that because I get to be YOUR mom! I get to call you my baby. I get to hug you and cuddle you. I get to sing to you until you fall asleep at night. I get to be woken up by your sweet voice every morning. I get to hear your hilarious stories and watch your amazing creativity come to life when you play. I get to teach you and watch you become the most amazing little person. 

You amaze us every single day. And I cannot get enough of you. You are such a tremendous blessing in our life, Finn. Thank you for being mine. Happy Birthday.

I love you my boy, always. 

Love Mama
