I can't believe my baby boy is 3. I think all the hormones from my pregnancy are making this an emotional one for me. It's too bad Ben is sick. He has croup. Sucks to be sick on your birthday. He is in good spirits though.
It is so hard to believe that 3 short years ago I was holding this beautiful little boy wrapped tight in a blanket and thinking "Now what the hell do I do?" He was so helpless, and now he insists on doing everything by himself. The crazy part is having entire conversations with him or seeing him come to his own conclusions. I still can't believe him sometimes. He amazes me. Right now he is really into games. Hi-Ho Cherry-O is his favorite, followed by Don't Break the Ice and Candy Land. We just got Chutes and Ladders so we will try that out next. Time goes by so fast sometimes. I blinked and now he is a boy.
I wrote him another letter this year. I think I do this because the only thing I have from my mom, besides some jewelry and pictures, is a letter she wrote my brother and I before she died. If something were to happen to me, I want Ben to know how much I love him. OK, here go the hormones again. I am going to stop now.
Happy birthday my love...and many many more!!
