Happy 7!

Today my oldest child turns 7.  I can't believe it.  Why are the years going by so fast?  I remember finding out I was pregnant, going through the pregnancy, giving birth and holding that tiny newborn in my arms as if it were yesterday.  Now he's a big boy in 1st grade, reading, writing and solving basic math problems.  I went to a parent/teacher conference last week and was told how wonderful he is doing in class and is above average in reading and math.  I'm amazed at this boy.  He does give us some minor challenges at times but it's nothing we can't work out.  He's a great kid and I'm so lucky to be his mom. 

Unfortunately he had to go to school today and this is the first birthday he's had away from me but when he gets home we will celebrate.  My husband took off work and met him at the school for lunch.  He'll be sharing cupcakes with his classmates too.  He picked out what he wants for dinner and then we'll have cake and he can open presents.  He's already spent the money is grandpa and his nanny gave him.  We celebrated on Saturday at a local amusement park.  It was cold but they have it all set up for Christmas. 

I love this boy!
