Twelve times around the sun. Twelve years of exploring, learning, and developing into this creature I see before my eyes. My little Thoreau. He may have outgrown riding on my shoulders and cuddling in my lap, but he will never outgrow my heart. I've learned more about myself through him - more than he will ever know. My heart is full of love for this kid, bursting at the seams in fact. This mamma is one lucky gal to call this kid "my son".
A very happy birthday to your son Kate! What a cool shot! I wish you all an outstanding year ahead full of fun and learning! Isn't it crazy how fast they grow and change....I am just trying to keep up! All the best friend! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteIt happens in a blink! Your beans will keep you busy for sure!
DeleteHey Kate, I saw this and thought what a lovely thing to say. I'm sure he is a great guy too. Wonderful pic :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I am a bit biased, but he is pretty great.
DeleteWhat a beautiful short but sweet post, accompanied by an awesome picture! Happy birthday to your son, x
ReplyDeleteI thought at first, he kind of looks like he is angry but he was just relaxing on the log. He spend much of the day here reading a book. I just kept thinking how lucky he was to experience that.
DeleteHappy birthday to the young Thoreau!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I hope he keeps his mindset through his teens!
DeleteSuch a sweet post for your boy!
ReplyDeleteAwww - can't wait til you can meet him in person.
