Happy Birthday Elijah!

Happy Birthday Elijah!!!
You are my sweet little boy, I love you so much and you are such a joy to me. I can't believe you have grown up so fast. Right before my eyes you have changed from a tiny little baby to a big boy who has his own opinions and who has so much energy.
You are always so sweet to me. You tell me you love me everyday, and you always say thank you for this wonderful dinner. It makes me feel so good when you are so appreciative. We once read a book at the dr. and in it a mommy loves her little boy and every night she says to him "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."and she rocks him back and forth back and forth, even when he gets old she says this to him, and at the end the little boy says the same thing to his mom when she gets too old to hold him.
That is our special book. I say that to you every night. And when I say to you, you are getting to be too big, you say to me, don't worry mommy I'll be your baby forever.
I told you that you couldn't grow anymore and you had to stay little, so I was going to cancel all of your birthdays so you would stay little and you just said to me, ok mommy. You are so special and I know I tell you this all the time but, I'm so happy out of all the little boys in this whole world you came to me. I love you so much, and am so proud of how you have grown into such a thoughtful, loving little boy.

Mommy when she was pregnant with you!!! This was right before you came to our family.
