Happy Birthday Baby Connor!

5 years old is far from a baby, but my baby you'll always be. Seems just like yesterday I gave birth to you.  Full of surprises, you looked nothing like I had pictured.  I've always shared a closeness with you.  For a long time it was just the two of us...entertaining one another all day long until Daddy came home from work.  I wanted to be the best mother to you so I read all those pregnancy and newborn books, made you listen to baby Mozart, read you long books the nights you couldn't fall asleep on your own, took countless video recordings of you doing nothing but looking cute, and introducing every food but sugary ones your first year.  It must have paid off because you're pretty awesome!  You are such a kind hearted, considerate child.  You have your father's love of laughter; I'll never forget when you told me you like to make people laugh, it is exactly what Daddy has said to me once.  You are mature and wise beyond your years, like an old soul.  You have an extremely good, and sometimes scary, memory.  You are the best big brother any kid could ask for, you are patient and understanding to your demanding little brother's needs (maybe not all the time but for the most part).  You love adventure but are very cautious.  You are a ladies man without even knowing it (which makes you a true ladies man); girls flock to you and it makes me giggle when I pick you up at school and every girl in your class wants to hug you.  You make  me want to be a better person and you have since you entered the world.  You have taught me so much about  life and unconditional love.  I know you are going to do great things!  I am so proud and honored to be your mother. Happy 5th Birthday Bubby.
