you're 5!

never in my life had I imagined that sewing buttons back on your coats in the car, buying Toy Story underwear briefs or wiping boogers off your little fingers would gift me with a moment of such intense joy and lightness I find myself momentarily stunned, and bathed in gratitude.

some days are harder than others. but you make me a better person every day. teaching me about unconditional love, about myself and about the joy of being.

I love you.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday to Sean and Will!! Five is a beautiful age.... their personalities come blazing forward and there's a command to language that makes you realize they really aren't babies anymore. SOB!!
