my joy

My baby boy.
My middle child.
The absolute joy of my life.



Full of silliness, always laughing, forever smiling.
Making my life brighter each day.

I can't wait to wake you up each morning.

I always tell you that you are the cream filling in my Oreo cookie.

My special boy that always needs extra love. And you get it, too.
My only child that tell me he loves me several times a day. Just out of the blue. For no special reason.

When I speak firmly to someone, you are the first to say "I love you mom," just so you won't be in trouble too.



You always speak your mind. Wherever and whenever you choose. You do not filter.

When we go somewhere to play, you are the one that leaves with 5 new friends. And you know all their first and last names.

You're not necessarily a leader, but you're not a follower either. You are your own person, and do your own thing. Children are drawn to you, and you embrace them all.



You are sharp as a whip, and when you start school, I think you're going to blow us away. I expect great things.

I pray you always find the joy in life. Be funny, be silly, make people laugh. Be yourself. But make all of those things second to knowing and loving God. Let Him guide you.



My special, silly boy, with your goofy faces and funny songs.
My easiest baby.
Such a joy to our family. Not allowing us to take ourselves too seriously.
You bring us so much happiness.
We love you, cream filling.

Happy 6th Birthday!
