i have an 8 year old today:
how that's possible, i'm not quite sure.
but i am sure of my love for him.
8 years ago, he made me a mom.
8 years ago, my life changed.
{my sweet, lil' asian nugget}
---------------
this boy challenges me on every level, every day.
i sometimes feel like i'm looking in a mirror, when i'm dealing with his stubbornness.
he makes me want to pull my hair out...and i'm confident mr. andersons gray hairs are because of this child.
but we wouldn't trade any of the hard times.
because for every good moment we have with him, it makes it all worth it.
happy 8th birthday, caedmon.
you are a treasure, you are loved.

Happy Happy Caedmon!
ReplyDeleteThere's something special about the first. Made me cry reading it thinking of my own making me a momma. Of course, it's just him right now, but one day maybe there will be more. But he's so so so special.
Hope today is wonderful!
Happy birthday lil man! He looks like a gem!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy 8 years of being a mama!

ReplyDeleteMy friend gets all depressed reading blogs because she thinks everyone makes their life sound so much better than it really is. She thinks every mom makes their life sound easy, their marriage sound perfect, and their kids sound like angels... so I gave her your blog! lol! You are so honest but because you love your kids and family so much- it's always a good honesty. Keep on, keep on!
ReplyDeleteawww... happy bday boy!

Happy 8th Birthday to your boy!
