9 Years Old!

Happy 9th Birthday (yesterday) to the boy who made me a Momma!
I can not believe how fast 9 years goes.  Seriously.  I remember the day he came into this world, wide eyed and curious.  Prince K never cried when he was born, just gazed at me and his surroundings.  So quiet and peaceful, tiny and precious.  I could never have known then how quickly time would pass, and what an amazing little boy he would turn out to be.  I seem glimpses of his teenage years from time to time, and it makes me just want to squeeze him a little tighter.  I can not wait to see the man he grows up to be, but at the same time I hate the thought of this fleeting moment being gone.  No more smudged walls, no more scattered toys, no more unmade beds.  I want to cherish it all while I can!  So today (or should I say yesterday) we celebrate.  Candles in your breakfast, cupcakes to share at school, the present you didn't get at Christmas and wanted to so badly, dinner out at your favorite restaurant, a celebratory button to wear, singing that almost embarrasses you already, and an extra long hug and kiss at bedtime.  Happy Birthday, my sweet boy, we love you more than you will ever know!
