When did that happen?  Where did the little man running around in a diaper with a bottle yelling “choo choo, choo choo” go?  Back then everything was Thomas the Tank Engine.  He obsessed over trains.  When he was little he used to sneak in my bed every morning around 3am.  I would wake up with him snuggled next to me with his arm around my neck.  As much as my girls love me there is just something about a boys love for his mommy.  Am I right ladies?  They are IN love with us.  He keeps getting bigger and things are changing.  There aren’t very many toys in his room anymore.  Aside from some nerf guns and some legos he is all about riding bikes, playing basketball and attempting to ride a skateboard.  He rides his bike to school in the morning and even though he doesn’t need me as much he still cuddles me on the couch at night and comes in my room every morning laying on the couch next to my bed until I wake up.  My sweet boy….you are special, you are loved and you will always be mommy’s baby.  Happy 9th birthday.
