Kids love thier birthday PARTIES!

Cake and presents . . . .

But moms love birthdays!

It's when a couple of years in memories

flood my mind all day long,

the smell of the pink J&J lotion makes me tear up,

and the thought of taking down your baby crib catches my breath a little . . .

because I remember how we got here

I remember when we first met

You got so big this year. So big b-o-y like . . .

trians, cars, trucks, trains, cars, trucks, trains, cars, trucks

You still have that contageous baby boy giggle,

but now it's followed up with

"you so silwee mommy"

you still suck your thumb . . .

I might let you do it forever

as long as you promise

to crawl up in my lap for a snuggle

every now & then

Happy 2nd Birthday

to my big boy!

I love you Preston . . .

Always.
