My baby is five

Simon turned five today and it has been an emotional day as I have looked back on the last five years. Simon has taught us more than he could imagine in his short little life. He began by teaching us absolute love. He then quickly taught us patience and endurance. He has taught us how to hope, to care, to trust, to laugh, to cry, and most of all that miracles do happen. He is everything to his Brother and Sister, they love him more than anything. He has taught us all that love and family is more important than anything. I am thankful that we were trusted with his sweet and special little spirit. He has enriched our lives so much. Here are some of my favorite things about Simon...His squishy kisses and hugs, his vivid imagination, his hearty laugh, he has no fear, his ability to ride a two wheeler at age 3, his sense of humor, his furrowed brow, his ability to be happy with what he has, he never expects anything, he never complains about doing his therapy, he can always make us laugh, he still at 5 wants more than anything to be with his mom, his tenderness, he hasn't hit his terrible two's yet, he has swallowed his pills since he was two, his fat belly, those are just a few. I am so grateful for all the things this little boy has taught me in the last 5 years. Happy Birthday, little man! Mommy loves you so much.
