For Chase!

Dear Chase,
      Tomorrow you turn seven!! I can't believe it! Have I told you how much I love you? Have I told you how incredible I think you are? You have the ability to make everyone smile, you are sweet, kind, caring, and oh so very thoughtful.  When one of us doesn't feel well you are the first to make sure we are all right.  You are constantly concerned with your little brother--and though you sometimes get frustrated with him you are still his very best buddy and ally. I love to hear your giggles when you play with your Dad. Even when I get a little frustrated with your obsession with calendars, schedules and menus I adore that like me you don't want to break the rules or get off the path....You are very smart and are a FABULOUS reader.  There are so many things that you are but of all things that are you my favorite is my son.  How incredibly blessed I am to have you in my life--when I see your sweet face I am reminded of the first time I saw you, you stole my heart from the get go! I can't wait to see all the things you will do, the incredible man you will become. Sometimes it scares me to think of you growing older--so I try to just treasure every minute I can!! My sweet boy Happy Birthday!
I love you love you a thousand million times love you!
Mom
