5 and sweeter than ever!

BIRTH. From the beginning you have been the sweetest boy.
YEAR ONE was full of laughter and smiles.
YEAR TWO was as sweet as the first. You were not a toddler of many words but showed us early that you were a bright little boy through your love of puzzles and books.
YEAR THREE has been your most challenging year to date, but...
YEAR FOUR brought our sweet, sensitive soul back.


YEAR FIVE promises to bring many new adventures (including Kindergarten! YIKES!)
Conversation this morning:
Cazin, what do you want to wear today on your birthday?
Hmm...well, let's start with my Star Wars underwear. Then my green shirt with the numbers...and then some shorts.
It's too cold for shorts.
Oh. Well then pants. How bout some pants? Yep, that sounds great.

We spent the day in Richmond taking care of more house stuff. Cazin chose to eat at Red Robin for dinner and despite the fact that we didn't have time to do anything fun (besides picking out elements for my new kitchen), he still declared that "this was the best birthday ever! Because I spent da day with my family!" If we could all take a lesson from him.

Dear Cazin,
You bless us each and every day with your goodness. You teach us to appreciate every gift, big or small and you lovingly shower us with affirmations and praise daily. Thank you for being our sweet, sensitive soul who brings balance to our family. Happy, happy birthday my love!
