I can't help but be mushy..

I am beginning to catch a glimpse of the man you will become.

You are a thinker, much like your daddy,

I can always see something going on in that mind.

You are adventurous and will jump off, over,

and through anything in your path.

You are an outdoors man. Heat, rain, sleet, or snow-
the elements never keep you indoors.

You are thoughtful and compassionate towards other.

You are taking an interest in hunting- cameo and the bow and arrow are your new found friend. I have a feeling, before I know it, you are going to be sitting in a tree stand.

You are inquisitive. You are always looking to learn something new.

And I'm happy to oblige- even if that means answering

one thousand questions each day.

You are a planner. You like to wake up and make a schedule,

which often helps to keep me organized.

You are a wonderful big brother. You are extremely protective and nurturing to your sisters. No one makes Eden laugh the way you do. I can always find you

and Beaux playing in your own, unique, little world-

well, that is if you aren't doing a little a fighting.

You are creative. You have the ability to take any toy, and play with it in a way never intended.

You are silly - and you have a point of no return.

Once you get past a point of craziness, there is no bringing you back.

All I can do is sit back, roll my eyes, and giggle.

You are a family man. Papa, Nana, Grandpa, Granny, Georgia,

Jason, Gracie Rae, Lyla, Jessica, and John are your favorite people to be with.

Well that is except for maybe - me, Daddy, Beaux, and Eden.

You are a boy that never ceases to amaze me. I feel like I see your kindness, strength, character, and joy displayed in a new way each day.

You were the start to my road of motherhood -

and what I wonderful start you were.

I can't wait for all the wonderful starts that are still to come.

Happy Birthday Darling.
