Happy Birthday Logan!





I know this post is a little late but I had to survive the birthday party first. Yesterday we celebrated Logan's 3rd birthday. I smiled as I watched him get so excited about people coming over and the cake arriving. He had so much excitement in his eyes. He greeted everyone at the door and took the present. I know he is only 3 but we try to teach him birthdays are about more then just presents.

I have been planning his birthday for weeks. Ordering the Diego items off line because it is hard to find anything in town. Researching a cake for my mother-in-law to make. Logan wanted cupcakes this year so I comprised with a cake and cupcakes. I started to panic because normally I have more time to plan. I am exhausted and swamped at work. I got the invitations out late and I took 1/2 day off work on Friday to clean. Normally I would have everything done weeks ahead of time. What is important is that I survived and made lots of memories.

I wanted to freeze time when Logan was blowing out his candle. I want to stop time and think about how he has grown. (TEAR) I am so excited to experience each milestone with Logan. I get excited and upset all at the same time. It is so exciting to watch him learn how to count, write and explore who he wants to be. Yet sometimes I just want to hold that little baby we brought home from the hospital.

Dear, Logan
Happy birthday my sweet little BOY! I have loved you since the moment your father and I found out we were pregnant. I bonded with you as you grew inside of me. On March 20, 2006 your Daddy and I got to meet you for the first time. We both fell in love with you. I had to beg your dad to let me hold you at the hospital. He was so proud of you he didn't want to let go. The day that we brought you home from the hospital I knew life would never be the same. Little did I know you would make me and your father better people. You have taught us how to love unconditionally, forgive for the little mistakes in life, to get excited about potty training and most of all you made us a family. So today as I watched you celebrate your 3rd birthday I am so happy to be your mom. I was so proud of you for sharing your toys and blowing out your own candle. You are such a big boy now!

LOVE YOU,
Mom
