Five years of the Cute Show

Today is Devon’s fifth birthday. We held his party on Saturday because today is his first day back to preschool and I thought a party and school might be enough to make his head explode. And maybe mine, too. I can’t quite believe my baby has hit five. The last five years have been a roller coaster unlike anything I could have ever imagined, in fact I often think of my life pretty much exploding after Devon’s birth. Only recently have I felt things reaching some sort of equilibrium of sanity.

Devon came in to our lives to face so many challenges and yet here he is, stomping through his days, bellowing, issuing orders and snuggling the sweet sort of snuggles only an innocent can. Everyday I look at him with his over sized head topped with that crazy white hair that baffles me by its very existence and I give thanks to the skies above that I have been blessed by this beautiful soul. Everybody should be so lucky to have a Devon in their lives.

Happy Birthday, Angel Boy! I truly am the luckiest of all Mai-Mai’s! Thank you for being here with us.
