My Amazing 7 Year Old

He's a constant nonsense noise maker, dirt from head to toe, strong willed, hot tempered, love filled, generous, wise beyond his years. He can have conversations, like deep, grown up conversation. His faith is breathtaking. He can also talk back until he's blue in the face. He's my oldest. Leader of the pack. He teaches me every single day. Happy 7th birthday to the little boy who made me a mom. The boy who taught me how to love something more than life itself. From the very moment we saw his beautiful face, our lives changed. He's amazing! He's hard headed and can be difficult, but oh my what a future he's running towards. He says he wants to be a surgeon. And as he described what it would feel like to use all the tools and prosthesis and how cool artificial hearts are, I could totally see him doing that! He also wants to be a pilot on the side. ;) Maybe, maybe not, but it's awesome to dream with him. He's a lot of boy and it's wonderful. I am so blessed to keep dreaming, living, loving and chatting with this amazing kid! <3
