It went by so fast. I remember the tiny baby who only slept on our shoulders and could hold his head up the very night he was born (Papa has it on tape!). I remember the serious toddler you grew into who drew tiny circles all over every scrap of paper he found and who was the only 3 year old to check out Warbirds of World War II from the library and watch it start to finish. I remember the young boy who proved to me at the age of four that he was born knowing how to read and went on to read everything he could get his hands on including my old college astronomy textbook. And now, here is this young man before me so grown up and handsome. Your sense of humor delights us. The way your mind works sometimes baffles us. We truly love the things that thrill you.
Happy Birthday, Professor! We love you!
(Please tell me I am not the only mama who bawled like a baby the night before her oldest turned 10. I just can't believe it. BTW... our thoughts and prayers are with those marching for life as we celebrate life in a different way today!)
Happy Birthday to your son! (I bawl before every birthday) - Hugs to you on a decade of motherhood. OK, I sniffling a little right now.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest turns ten this year, I'll let you know. Well, I'll probably bawl too. Thinking about it now makes me teary eyed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Professor! You were cute then and you're just as cute now! Hope you have a great day (and year)!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Professor!

Happy birthday, Professor! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the joy in the Professor's face in that last photo! Happiest of birthdays!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Professor! I'm a little late but you're still ten, right?!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the prof! Just three more years until he can babysit, right???
ReplyDeleteMy oldest turns 10 in May. I'm already crying.
ReplyDeleteSo, uh, what's up with the fencing mask?
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThe Professor took a beginning fencing course back in November and LOVED IT. So for Christmas, we gave him his own mask and jacket and told him we would sign him up for more lessons. We were hoping to start them in January, but it looks like February will be better. He is so excited!!!!!
