My sweet Remy is seven years old today.  It’s incredible how quickly time seems to be flying now that we have three precious babes here.  I mean, time is exponentially faster and it’s truly the most wonderful and most heartbreaking thing to experience.  I was talking to Remy this morning about when he was a baby.  I didn’t know if he was my last and final baby or not, but in those moments of him as a baby (most of which are a blur because of course I was running after a toddler at the same time) I wanted to keep him in that time capsule forever.  He was the happiest baby!  Always smiling!

When he started walking and talking, then started going to school, he was so close in age with Bennett, it seemed like they were experiencing all of the same things together as a team.  He has always been the most thoughtful and caring, he feels all of the feels.  He has some close buddies that he enjoys spending time with he loves playing legos and Santa brought him a Nintendo Switch so now he is a “gamer” lol.  He still does martial arts twice a week and little league baseball.  For birthdays this year, we decided that the boys can chose a friend and go have a fun day together wherever they want around town.  Remy decided he wants to go to Legoland, so on Friday that’s what we will be doing!  He is pumped!  

Remy James,

Goodness gracious, you are so handsome!  Look how much you have grown this past year?!?  You are getting so tall, you have so many new teeth that I’m sure daddy cannot wait to get his hands on, and that personality… whew, giving me a run for my money ! 

You still have such a sensitive soul.  You get very disappointed when things don’t go the way you had imagined it would in your head.

You love your baby sister SO much!  You look after her and try hard to keep her from falling or hurting herself.  You play so sweetly with her and take her out to the trampoline to jump with her.  You make her giggle more than anyone!

At school you are excelling, making friends, and working hard.  Your teacher lets me know that you are always focused and never disturbing the class.  You mind your manners and are social when recess and lunch rolls around :)… not surprising!

I’m so proud of you, sweet boy!  I hope you are having a fantastic birthday!  Can’t wait to eat the ice cream cake we made together!

I love you more than you know,

Mommy
