Seven Up

Seven years ago today I was in a labor & delivery room, pumped full of Pitocin, awaiting the birth of my second child, Aiden. Seems like eons ago.

Today, Aiden turned 7. My sweet, cherubic son is now a big boy. What happened to this tiny little baby?



This boy has brought so much sunshine into my life over the past 7 years. He always seems to know when I need a hug or a kind word, and he makes me laugh.





Don't get me wrong. He has his grumpy moments, too.



But he always seems to redeem himself with that smile of his, a flutter of those eyelashes that seem to go on forever, a crinkle of that sweet nose dotted with freckles... It's hard to say no to him.



So smart, so cool, so left handed, so unique. He's just so..... Aiden.

He's seven.

And he's mine.



Happy Birthday, dude.

Love, Mommy
