Twelve

This week my first baby turned twelve.  These past 12 years have been interesting.  To watch how a person grows up in a world.  How a child clings to his parents for every move only to grow up and become his own young person.  It's definitely been an emotional roller coaster.  And I've loved it.  Sure he's thrown us for a few loops.  Some days I feel like a first time mom again.  This tween business is serious.  But I wouldn't change it for the world.  He's made me a better person.  Especially when I gave him my heart.  My whole world changed.

So here's to my first baby.  The first boy that stole my heart and kept it.  I'm looking forward to the next 12 years.
