Happy Birthday Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Jackson,
When you wake up you will be 6 years old. I can't ask where the time went because I know, I was there.

The day you were born July 20, 2005

Your 1st Birthday!! (2006)

Your 2nd Birthday!! (2007)

Your 3rd Birthday!! (2008)

Your 4th Birthday!! (2009)

Your 5th Birthday!! (2010)

Your 6th Birthday!! (2011)

If I look really close I still see that baby boy in your first birthday photo. But at 52 lbs you most certainly aren't that baby boy anymore. I am relishing everyday watching you learn and thrive. You amaze me daily at how exceptional you are. I know one day you will be too cool to hug your mom but today, I love the fact that you always want me to tuck you in and I get at least three hugs a day. Which by any mom's standard is never enough.

Although some days it makes me absolutely crazy, I love your competitive nature and drive to succeed you share with Kaitlynn. You get so mad when she wins. I love the fact that you believe you are Madelynn's sentinel. It makes my heart melt to hear you read to Madelynn and teach her things. You have two sisters but you are capable to develop different relationships with them.

In a few weeks you will start playing competitive sports and you are so worried you won't do it right or will fail. I have to remind you daily that at your age it is the coaches job to teach you how to play. That absolutely stunned you. I can't wait to watch you play. But I believe in my heart when you find that sport you are really good at and like you won't remember the day you thought you might fail.

Today, while you are at Camp, I hope you have a FANTABULOUS Day!! Enjoy sharing your treat with your friends and don't worry I know which bike you want, I promise to get the green one (as you have reminded me daily for the last week).

Happy Birthday Jackson!!!

Love, Mom
