7

This cutie of mine turned 7 today.

I can't imagine life without him.

He has a zest for life that is unmatched by anyone I know.  He loves to have fun and loves to receive gifts, so birthdays are pretty special for him.  

He's bright, very bright, very intellectual, and often focused and driven regarding his interests, but he still kinda skips through his days.  He keeps things light and I so appreciate that about him.

He's a matter-of-fact, no nonsense kind of guy.  Love that about him.  No need to beat around the bush.

He's probably my most challenging child to parent, and yet, I have this shear love and admiration of who he is (so different from me).

I say it all the time, but I really would be just like him if I could be a kid again.

T, somehow, I still think of you as a little guy.  But 7's not so little anymore.  (Sigh.)

I can't wait to see what God has purposed you for.  It's gonna be amazing.  YOU are amazing.  

Happy, happy birthday.
