Drew,
5
years ago today, I was humbled in a way that I never expected. Since
then, I've been puked on, peed on and pooped on (one time in my hair).
I've traded normal sleep and shower patterns for crappy late night television
when you had no interest in rest between the hours of 1am and 4am. I've
slept with a leg across my face and had one inch of mattress to call my
own when your bad dreams get the best of you,
and I've spent countless uncomfortable nights sleeping on your floor
when you were sick. You've brought me to tears many times both in
frustration and happiness but that one moment...when you were just
learning to talk and you told me you loved me back for the very first
time, made all of that worth it. It's been one interesting and epic ride
being your mommy and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat
without changing a single thing (well, maybe the poop in my hair
incident). You've made me proud of the person you are growing to become
and I wanted to thank you for being a huge part in making me the person I
am today and helping me realize life's true priorities. Happy 5th
birthday, Drewski. I love you "to Wall-e's world and back" - Mommy
