Happy Birthday

Happy 3rd Birthday, Hayden!

Dear Hayden,
Three years ago today, Daddy and I were in the hospital waiting for you to be born. We were so excited to meet you. I wanted to see who that person was who constantly had the hiccups and always seemed to climb under my rib cage.
There are not words to describe how I felt when I saw you for the first time, think the tears of joy I cried said enough. Then when I held you in my arms for the first time, I knew that I never wanted to put you down. I used to rock you to sleep every night and sing to you want ever song came into my head (some times it was Christmas carols and other times it was show tunes).
I can't believe how big you are now. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It is hard for me to believe that you are no longer my baby but a happy, healthy little boy.
I know that this past year has been full of weird things. The biggest being that you are not the only child any more. There are now 3 babies that live in our house. I know that Mommy is sometimes busy and can't play with you as much. I want you to know that I am doing my best. Soon the babies will be older and not need Mommy as much. You will then always have someone to play with.
I am so proud of you. You are such a special little boy. You bring me more joy and laughter than you will ever know. You have this way of bringing back my sanity when I think it is lost. You make me laugh when sometimes all I want to do is cry. I can't wait to see what kind of man you will grow into. Although if you could slow that growing down alittle bit, I would really be greatful.
~Mommy
