Noah’s 5th Birthday Eve

Dear Noah, How can you even be five tomorrow? It doesn’t feel quite right. It truly feels like yesterday that I first met you, In the bedroom of our old house, surrounded by paint pots and hot mess because we hadn’t long moved in… and we were in the process of decorating your nursery!! We have come such a long way since that day. I truly couldn’t wish for a better relationship with you. You are honestly my best little friend.  The past year has been a big one in your life.

His name is Noah and he is 4 years old, nearly five (he can not wait to be five!).  I had Noah when I was just 22… some say still a baby myself, I disagree. Noah and I are very close, we have a great relationship. Regardless of how young I was, I had already decided what I wanted for Noah, myself and our relationship since before he was born. I could not wait to meet him! This morning I have watched him closely,…
