SEVEN

  Dear Ethan,
When did you get big enough for a number like that, Sunshine? Seven years old?! I remember the day you were born, I remember your tiny hands and chubby cheeks. How did we get from there to here so quickly? I know that fo you it doesn't seem fast at all but as another birthday rolls around I find myself more surprised at how fast it's come then ever before. I have loved every minute of watching you grow. There is nothing in the world that brings me more joy then seeing you learn and grow and develop. You are a hard worker, you are smart and you are a bottle of sunshine all the time. You are so loving and thoughtful. I love how tender you are with your little brother and how well you watch out and defend your sister. You have been given a lot of trials to over overcome in your life but I honestly think it's made you that much stronger and that much smarter and WAY more fun. I love you, I love who you are, just the way you are and I don't ever want you to forget it. If you can continue to try everyday to learn and grow a little more I know that your potential will have no limits. You are such a good boy and I will always love you. Thank you for allowing me to be your Mom. Thank you for forgiving my mistakes and loving me no matter what. You've given me the chance to learn about my own potential through you. I LOVE YOU all the way to the end of the galaxy... and beyond.
Happy Birthday Jedi Ethan.
Love,
Mom

Did you make that cake? It' looks awesome :) What a sweet birthday letter to your not-so-little boy. He'll cherish these memories.

Aww so sweet. I am glad that you have those children to make your life bliss. It's funny how parents really don't remember life without their little ones. We love you!
