My Sweet 6 year old

My sweet 6 year old,

Where has the time gone. I swear it was just yesterday, i was holding you in your tiny blue blanket watching you sleep in my arms.

I remember the day you were born. I re-live it each year that passes. I was a young 16 year old not knowing what i was doing or how i was going to do it. I remember being in so much pain hoping for you to come. 28 hours of labor and 45 minutes of pushing you finally were laid into my arms at 4:45pm. Not making a lot of noise you were just as calm as you could be. You weighed 7 pounds 12 oz and was 21.5 inches long. My perfect sweet little pride and joy.

I know right then and there my life was different, it was going to be you and I forever. I was excited to see what the year to come had for us. I was ready to take on this new life as long as i had you with me.

In the year to come it has shown me how much i really needed you in my life. You have been life greatest blessing and the reason i live each and every day.

I know have a WILD, crazy, happy, loving, caring boy in my life. You bring so much joy to me.

I love how much you love football, and how much you love just hanging out with mom. I know that one day you wont wanna hang out with me so i'm making sure that i take these day and keep them with me forever.

You started school this year. Your my little kindergartner and your one smart cookie! Each day you come home with something new and exciting. You have done amazing this year in school and i cant wait to see what school holds for you.

You have a passion for football, and baseball. Everyday you are playing football, or talking about it. I think its a good sign that you will be our football player of the family. You get so excited to watch football with your dad.

You love playing with your dogs. I swear you love them more then you love me sometimes. Before you leave each day for school, you make sure that you give them a kiss and tell them goodbye.

You are also really excited to become a BIG Brother.

I know you are going to be an amazing big brother. Just today you were telling me how you were going to teach your little brother to play football, and how you wanted to get bunk beds so you can stay up all night with your brother.

I know that the two of you will be the best of friends. I know you will.

Connor you have the biggest heart, you love everyone and everything you touch. You would rather give the coat off your back then to keep yourself warm. You make everyone smile by you smiling or by your adorable laugh. Your eyes just melt everyone into pieces. Im so lucky to have such an handsome little man to call my son.

You dont know how proud i am of you. You have taught me so much in the short 6 years we have had together. I dont know who i would be or where i would be without you with me. You have made me a much better person. You will always be the one i look up to. You make everything in this life 100% better and always worth it. I love you more then you can every think of, you make me, ME.

Happy Birthday my sweet big guy!! I hope your day is just as amazing as you are...

Love, Mommy
