Six.

My son is SIX years old.  How could the time have possibly gone by so quickly.  How did six years go by, in the blink of an eye?

 His birthday was on Tuesday.  Just on Monday he came home sporting his brand new super wiggley tooth, too.  It feels like just yesterday he was just sprouting brand new tiny little teeth in his chubby little mouth.  It feels like just yesterday he was just a tiny little wiggley monster in my arms, and now if I try to give him a huge hug, he says. “Come on, Mom!!!!!” and tries to push me away.  Every once in a blue moon, I can get him to cuddle with me, but he is getting bigger by the minute, and soon he’ll be off to college waiting to become the next big thing, not Momma’s little boy anymore.

I know I don’t tell him enough, but he makes me so proud, every single day, for who he is.  Just for being HIM.  He is an amazing little boy, and I will be so proud of the man he becomes.  Sometimes I wish it wouldn’t go by so fast…

He is stubborn, just like me.  He sure can push my buttons, which he does every day.  Some days it’s harder than others to not let it get to me.

But those killer blues sure do help!

One of these days he’s gone to make someone swoon.

I just hope they’ll be up to my standards!! 

Love you, my Aidan boy.  You are perfect, forever and always.
