I can’t believe my first baby is now 12 years old!!! You are still that brilliant, witty, boundary-pushing, book-loving, creative guy.
I’ve seen a lot of growth in you this year…getting yourself ready for school in the morning without a lot of pushback, staying on top of all of your homework/quizzes/tests/projects, looking out for the little ones in the neighborhood, showing more compassion and empathy for others, wanting to just sit and talk about things, taking care of your mommy (making me breakfast, giving me a lot of hugs, etc.), and having a grateful heart. I’m so proud of you, buddy. Happy 12th Birthday!!!
