This Is My Boy...

and he turns 5 today.

The other night, while I was snuggling him at bed time he said this:

[boy]  "Mom, I love you to the moon and back 10 times"

[me]  "Thank you! I love you to the moon and back 100 times"

[boy]  "Well, I love you to the moon and back 36 times"

[me] "Wow, that is far.  That is very, very far."

I can't quite put into words who this boy is and what he means to me.  

I can say that I love being his mom, that I am proud of him and that I am really blessed to have him.

Motherhood is so bittersweet.
