10 years ago
Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 12:28PM
Ten years ago, I didn't have this:
I most certainly didn't have this or this:
I couldn't have imagined the sound of his voice or the gait of his walk:
I couldn't have guessed if he was a lefty or a righty:
I had no idea that he would have the biggest green eyes and he'd have freckles on his nose:
I tried to imagine him in a car seat or a crib, but I never dreamed that he'd be a man, among other men:
But I do know that because I got him, I also got him:
And also, because of him, I can haz cheezburger:
Goodbye, my darling 9 year old. I'm gonna miss you. I hope the 10 year old you that I will meet tomorrow morning is as awesome as the 9 year old was.

Congratulations and happy birthday!
I love the freckles on the nose, too. My eldest has the same combo of green eyes and freckled nose. Powerful combination!
Thanks for dropping by my place!

I love how you fit the "i can haz cheezburger" into that!
Of course he will be just as awesome. Just as awesome at 10, 11, 12 and into the teens and twenties. Why? Because he's got you as his mother.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 1of3!!!! Some day you'll get to hang with my 1of4 and you'll be best buds.
