King Kaeden at school on Friday!

Today is the day! The day where he sits in excited anticipation of all his young guests showing up to celebrate his birth! With an elevated heart rate and an anxious breath he asks me this morning, “Is today my birthday?” You can hear his voice dripping with excitement! I tell him, “Yes dear. Today is your birthday.”

“Yay!!” He shouts as he bounces off the bed. He’s been asking for almost a month now if it was his birthday yet. LOL He’s so proud to be turning 5. I told he’s so grown up that it’s almost time for him to start college, get married, have kids… Then I said are you ready for that? To my dismay he responded with a yes! I guess that’s what I get for asking.

After only 5 years, I can’t begin to imagine my son having a family of his own. My daughter either for that reason! They grow up so fast… but not that fast when you think about it! I’m just going to sit back and enjoy these years with my kids. They tend to fly by faster than you realize. I don’t want to take anything for granted!
