Now we are 8...
You have lost 7 teeth. We can wear the same size socks. You can read,write,add and subtract. You are too heavy to carry to bed. You are only 1 foot shorter than I. You are faster, stronger and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
But you still hold my hand, tell me that I am the best mom ever, and snuggle with me every night.
So I guess...
That is why 8 is still so great...
Happy Birthday my sweet Monster, the light of my life and the
one who will forever make me want to be a better person..
I love you..a bushel and a peck.
Now lets eat some chocolate cake!

ReplyDeleteThat's right! The monster and colie cole are a day apart. Ugh. The pressure is mounting! I have to write as good a post as this? Good luck to me! You brought a tear to my eye again this year. How do you do that? Big hugs to the birthday monster. Save a piece of that cake for me!
