Bradley:  Momma, last night I went to sleep and I was five.  This morning I woke up and I am six.

Me:  You’re right! Do you feel any different today?

Bradley:  Yes, I’m two hands now!!!

Me:  Ummm, OK?

Happy Birthday, my little man! I always fear the week before your birthday, because I  unfailingly become extremely grumpy and despondent. I’ve been know to make excuses…”I think I’m coming down with something”, “I just have a lot on my plate right now”, “It must be PMS”…but we all know the cause of my poor attitude. My baby is one year older (which, of course, is a wonderful thing), but I just can’t help reflecting on our past year together and think of how much of a difference one year made. I look back to his baby photos (remember, he is the most photographed child in the world, LOL), and feel that familiar tightening in my chest.

Thank you, my baby, for making me the luckiest mom in the world 🙂

P.S., I did NOT make my son wear that necktie.  He insisted on wearing a “fancy, white, button down all the way” shirt, tie and belt to his birthday dinner.  Not sure why…but he loves clothes 😉
