My baby is three. My sweet angel is three. Three years ago today, I gave birth to the most beautiful thing that I have ever known. The most precious love of my life. I cannot believe it has been three years since this precious soul entered our lives. It seems like just yesterday, he was just toddling along with chubby little legs calling out "MaMa." On the other hand, I can't remember what life was like without him. What did we do? How did we fill our time? What were we living for? I just can't imagine life without this precious piece. I think God for giving him to us every night when I say my prayers. But on this special day, I can't help but being even more thoughtful and grateful for the best gift we have ver received. Happy Birthday John Paul...
We had a big Pirate Party at our house today. Jack's Aunt Jana, Uncle Chris, cousins Olivia and Ella spent the night last night and helped us get ready. Jack had so much fund dressed as a pirate. We had pirate hats for all of the kids as well as eye patches and a pinata filled with toy pirates, gummy skulls and cross bones, spy glasses, candy necklaces, chocolate coins, beads, jewels, gemstone rings, and other pirate items. We had a 4 layer chocoalate cake covered with jewels, rings, coins and beads...it was so much fun.
Daddy, Jack and I played games for several hours after all of the guests left and after the house was put back into order (no small task). Now it is the end of our baby's third birthday. I don't know why but I am crying. Partly because I feel so blessed and am so happy inside because we have our special angel who we waited so long to meet and partly because I am a little bit sad because our precious angel is growing up and one year closer to not needing us any longer. I am so happy he is so smart and that he is growing up...but a small part of me wants to keep him little so he will always be mine. Every day he becomes a little more independent and needs his Mommy a little less. I love him so much...it is hard to let him go...even a little bit...
Happy Third Birthday my sweetest treasure. I will love you forever. (He is hugging me right now...because he saw me crying.) I love you Angel.
Mommy
