I love Friday’s.

As it turns out though – this is my last Friday night with a child under the age of one!

I am trying not to have a meltdown…

It breaks my heart that the last year has gone by so fast!

T, I just adore you.

Your perfect chubby arms. Your toothy little smile. How you kick and spur your feet when you are excited. The way your face lights up around your sisters. The way you have started pointing and squawking when you want something. And how you clap and sing with us when we all start acting crazy.

I think my favorite is when you fall asleep with your head on my shoulder.

Your birthday party is tomorrow – but your official birthday is not for three more days.

You have long been asleep tonight.

But I wanted to mark this day.

I love you.
