Today marks the final celebration of your 5th birthday Brady. After three parties and way too many presents, tonight I tucked you in bed and laid beside you to read the story of the night you were born. You intently listed to every word reminiscing on the excitement of that night. It put a big smile on my face as I read to you the detail of the drive to the hospital. Daddy and I laughed and giggled with anticipation all the way in. You chuckled when I told you that Daddy had a lollipop in his mouth when we checked in with the nurses. And you smiled so gently when I shared with you the detail of the love that surrounded us that night.
Brady William, you make me so proud. In just five short years you've learned to walk, talk, fish, sing, laugh, ride a bike, camp, explore the great Maine woods, throw a baseball like no other 5 year old I know, boy can you run, ski Tote Road at the loaf with a huge smile on your face, eat M&M's and ice cream like its the first time every time, you know how to love and be loved, and best of all you are the best brother Kyla could ever have and the best son that Daddy and I could have every asked for. I love watching you grow!
