Happy Birthday...

Dear Gibson,
Today you are 4.. You might as well be turning 18, because here I am holding your pink blanket.. crying like you are going off to college.

You were the first.
The first one to have me wrapped around their tiny finger..
 The first boo boo I every made better with a kiss..
The first little person who thought I could do anything..
The first one completely dependent on me..
The first one to take their first wobbly steps towards me..
The first who I woke up with in the middle of the night to change a diaper for.
The first one to call me Momma.....

I love being your Momma.. I love how sweet and caring you are.. How sensitive you are to others.
I love how you think so deeply.. I love your questions.. I love your silliness.. I love your gentle spirit..
I love you my firstborn, my little big man.

Happy Birthday, Gibson.

Love,
Your Momma
