In Just Four Years...

You've completely captured my heart.
Your sweet and affectionate smile,
Your snuggles and your laugh.
The way you light up the room,
And what a tender heart you have.
I am smitten with you, Tommy.
And I'm so proud of my 4 year old.
Happy Birthday, Goldenbear!

    Oh, I love birthday posts. Isn't it wonderful to just sit back and savor the amazing child your baby is becoming? (Complete with light saber, of course!)

    Thank you for sharing the day -- hope you both make it special! :)

    My son, who is 45 made me a gift for mother's day. It is a CD of all the songs with which he identifies me, and him, remembering how I used to sing all the time,my love for Sinatra,Jack Jones,Strisand,Ella. They span the years of his life. On the cover and on the disc he has put a picture of he and I. In the photo I am 42 and he is 4. I cried, of course.
    So many memories you have still to make.

    Happy Birthday! Your pics are always so cute and your kids are always smiling so nicely. One day you'll have to do a post on what you go through to get them looking so perfectly posed and cooperative ~wink~. How's the pregnancy going?

    Moannie- I think that is just about the sweetest gift I've ever heard of. What a thoughtful boy! So sweet. :)

    Mom24- You should see pics of me when I was little. Tommy looks SO MUCH like me it is crazy. And his personality is like mine too. Funny that you noticed it too. ;) Ben looks and acts like Todd and Joey looks like my mom. :)
