For My Carter...

..... on your 3rd birthday.

It's hard to believe that yet another year in your life has passed. You continue to amaze me daily with everything you do and say! Even though I am your Mommy, I feel that you are constantly teaching me things about myself, your Daddy, and all things in life that I somehow never knew. You are a fun loving, sweet spirited, highly energetic, smart, and caring little boy.... and I hope you always will come and snuggle me like you do now. I look forward to another year with you.... teaching you, shaping your heart and guiding you to be a kind and loving little person, cherishing each and every funny thing you say and sweet thing you do. I just can't wait to watch you grow some more, yet it feels hard to say goodbye to the times that have already passed us by. You are such a joy, and there isn't enough space in this world to hold all the love that I have for you. You are my best little friend, and you will always be my baby boy, even 50 years from now on your 53rd birthday! I love you dearly, my handsome little man. We are going to have lots of fun today, and celebrate YOU! I can't wait. :o)

Happy 3rd birthday!
Love always,
Mommy
