Happy 3rd Birthday CJ!

Dear CJ,
Happy Birthday sweet baby boy. So much has changed for you in this past year. A new home, started school, and a new baby sister on the way. You have taken everything with stride and a beautiful smile on your face. You have flourished. I cannot believe how much you've grown and changed in the last year. You are quite the show stopper. Always trying to make everyone laugh. And yet you have a stubborn streak. Daddy says you get it from me, but I think you get that from him. You have such a big heart. Always worried if someone is sad or even about the broken tree in the back yard. I know this is hard to understand, but not everything can be fixed with a hammer; try as we might.

I look forward to what the next year brings for you, but for now I will cherish you being 3. So Happy Birthday to you my sweet little boy. I am so happy that I am your mother. Your sweet smile keeps me smiling even in the most difficult of times. I love you.

Love,
Mommy
