Happy Birthday Riley

It's hard to believe my baby is 3 today. Where has the time gone?

It seems like we were just bringing him home from the hospital

and now we are trading his crib for a bed and trying to get him to hold still

long enough for a hug and a kiss.

This little boy is the light of my life, and I am so honored to be

his mother. He is sweet and kind hearted. He loves animals, his favorites being elephants

rhinos, horses, dragons and dinosaurs.

When I am sad he makes

me happy, he makes me laugh and he makes me grateful for all that

I have and all that I am. Being his mother makes me

a better person.

I love watching him learn and grow. You can almost see his mind working.

he is so smart and witty even for three. I am amazed by him every day.

I hope he always knows how loved he is by so many people.

I love you up to the moon and back my sweet boy.

Love,

Mom
