My dear boy,
Today is your 6th birthday and during the years you have been with us you have bought so much to our lives. Before you made your entry into this world you already your father and me re-evaluating our priorities and thankfully we matured (a lot). Your dad and I were only young when we discovered you were well on your way to becoming our first born baby that we love so much.
I don’t know where the years have gone, it seems like it was such a short time ago you were playing peek-a-boo, taking your first steps, climbing on everything, feeding yourself for the first time and drawing on the wall with crayons, squeezing baby powder over everything and now you are about to begin year 1, you can read and write and you are a wonderful, caring and kind big brother.
The list is endless of hilarious things you have said and the infinite ways you have embarrassed your father and me in public. What are kids for right? There was the day at pre-school when you were learning about how dangerous snakes were and you piped up saying that’s a trouser snake! Or when you couldn’t say crocodile properly and continued calling them cock-diles.
You have tested my patients beyond anything I could have ever anticipated and yet showed me so much love. Your little kisses, hugs, smiles, confidence, sense of self and simple ‘I love you’ make it all worth it.
Happy Birthday Declan.
We love you to the sun and back. xx
