James, you have brought our family so much joy this past year! You are silly and nosey and smart! You are also so beautiful...your skin, your blue eyes, your lips....I could just eat you up!! But, if I had to pick one word to describe you, it would be content. You were happy from day one!
You now get so insulted when I try to feed you anything from a spoon. How dare I?? You want to do it yourself! You dance and dance and dance...and you love hip hop music:) You still obsess over the cats and dogs. Now you howl or 'sing' like Blu does.
So how has it been having three kids?
Wonderful.
Amazing.
Crazy.
Overwhelming.
Blessed.
Loud.
Fun.
Funny.
Tiresome.
Joyous.
The one thing that has been solidified in the past year is our family is adaptable. We had some MAJOR changes: we moved, the twins went into separate bedrooms after five years together, they started kindergarten.
Oh and I had a baby.
But with every big change, with all the transitions, our family has flowed and allowed the changes to happen. Stella crawls up on Tony's lap, James picks up cars and hands them to Thomas, Thomas asks me to read a book, James dances on his wobbly legs while Tony plays the keyboard, I braid Stella's hair while Thomas packs snacks for the day, Stella and Thomas race around and play hide and seek, James lays his head on my shoulder before bedtime. All the commotion, all the chaos that has come with the past year...has just brought our family closer.
Happy Birthday James:)
