Happy 5th Birthday, my little Knight!

Happy 5th Birthday to my precious little Knight!

5 years ago today, we headed to the hospital to welcome you to our family.  What a joyous day it was!  You were so tiny and sweet - weighing in at 6 pounds 13 ounces - exactly 3 pounds less than your big brother.  But you were 3 weeks early and he was one week late.  You were prefect!

I cannot imagine my life without you! You bring an energy to our family like nothing I have ever seen.  You might be smaller than your big brother and big sister, but you don't back down to anyone.  If you see an injustice, you fight to see it corrected.

Right before you turned 4 years old, you became a big brother.  While the Duke gets under your skin on a daily basis, you really do love him and are the first to tell me if he needs something.  You loved to hold him when he was an itty bitty baby.

This year YOU get to start doing some big kid things!  I signed you up for soccer this Spring, and (I am not sure how this is possible) you get to start Kindergarten in the fall.  Wow!

My heart overflows when I think how much I love you.  I cannnot wait for you to wake up this morning and left the fun begin!  We are having a little party for you at Chuck E. Cheese!  Your best little friend will be there along with some of your bigger friends. 

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!  Mommy loves you more than you will ever know.
