3 Years Ago...

.

 3 Years ago today, my life changed forever more than I could have ever imagined.  Becoming this precious boys' mommy has been the biggest blessing.  I love him more than he will ever know. 

 

I remember just staring at him after he was born, and telling Brandon over and over "he's perfect".

Little boy, when you speak
I cant help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Dont forget who you are
And please dont turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, lifes an hourglass
Lifes an hourglass

Stories read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

Last night being tucked in as a 2 year old

Aiden's party is this weekend, but I had to do something special for him on the actual day of his birth.  :) He woke up to balloons all over his room.  At first, he wasnt sure what they were, because he woke up at 5:30 and it was still dark in his room.  He woke up saying, "what are all these cannonballs doing in here".  lol. 
We gave him the option of daddy making pancakes or going out, and he decided to stay home.  So, his daddy made him pancakes with 3 candles on top. 

Making birthday brownies

My lil man at 1:29 pm ...officially 3!

Im a little more emontial over this birthday than I ever thought I would be.  I guess its because he's really grown up this past year.  He's now in a toddler bed, potty trained, a big brother, and is so independent.  What a big year! 

Aiden, you keep us laughing and constantly in amazement.   You are our joy.  We love you so much, to the moon and back!
