Jack turns five

It's so hard for me to believe that my first baby is turning five tomorrow.

I can't stop looking at him.  Seeing in his big boy face that same little baby face that has always been there.

He's the person who enabled me to become a mother.  That's kind of amazing.

He has the kindest heart of any five year old I know, and is the most loving boy.  He is curious, independent, intelligent, creative, and comical.

We went on a birthday date this past weekend to the Academy of Natural Sciences, and I had such a fun time with him - riding the train into Philadelphia, eating breakfast from a street vendor sitting outside the museum, checking out the fossils and bugs and bones (he was fascinated) and then riding the train back home again.  What precious time with my sweet boy.

Happy birthday, Jack! 
I love you so very much.
