Happy Birthday Ethan!
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the day I started changing diapers. Seven years ago today, my first baby, Ethan, was born. He was a happy baby and rarely cried. He also rarely slept, however, making Mommy very, very tired.
Now he is an intelligent, funny, first grader. He loves to play with his friends and still complains about how long the school day is. Every. Single. Day. But at least he wakes up sun-shiny and happy each morning and immediately starts taking care of getting himself ready for school.
And because I love my son, I want to make sure that his birthday is extra special for him. So far, Gideon has followed him around the house shouting out what his birthday presents are (note to self, DO NOT take the children present shopping with me EVER again), Aurora tore up a picture Ethan drew and then threw a tantrum because we didn’t get the My Little Pony decorations she wanted for "her" birthday, and Ethan and Gideon spent the whole drive to school (15 veeerrrry looooong minutes) hitting, teasing, and screaming at each other. It’s been a real party. Let’s just hope our celebration at the Family Fun Center tonight is just that. Fun.
So happy diapering anniversary to me and happy birthday to Ethan! For seven years now, just one smile from that boy and all my frustration is forgotten!
I love you Ethan!
Happy birthday, Ethan!!
And, Melissa, I hope that you get a chance to relax! Best wishes that tonight is a GREAT and fun night for the family!!
