Happy Birthday to Mama & Dada's Little Man

Micro's 1st tux fitting. Yet again, he'll be a ring bearer. He's making quite a career out of it.

 Each day when you greet me in the morning, I get a little bit sad. Just a little bit. It's because it means you're one day older and becoming less and less a toddler. You'll eventually grow into a "big kid" at some point. But today, Today, is something extra-special. Three years ago, you turned my world upside down and filled my heart and my soul. I get teary-eyed just thinking about you coming into this world and how the first moment I laid eyes on you, I learned the other side of love, a love beyond unconditional, a love so pure. 

You fill my days with joy, sadness, anger, happiness. And plenty of laughter. Lots of it. You say things that take me by surprise that indicate how much you've grown and are still growing. You are fiercely protective of your baby sister even though you're beginning to realize that sharing your toys isn't as fun as Mama says it is. If I were to show any kind of anger towards your little sister, you gently come over to me and say, "Don't get mad at 'Micron' Mama, she little." That melts me each and every time.

Though we teach you plenty of things everyday, you teach Daddy and me so much more than you can imagine. You've taught us a whole new meaning of "love," how to find laughter in the most mundane moments, you've given us a greater appreciation for Choo Choo travel, and you've shown us that a little wink, smile, slight nod here and there, is your way of showing love and affection for us. 

There are days I wish I could bottle you up and keep you just as you are. Well, it won't matter, you'll forever be my baby.

Happy Birthday my Sweet Love!
