Hopes & Wishes

My hopes for you, my sweet birthday boy…

I hope you always wake up in the best of moods. It’s a joy to greet you at the crack of dawn.

I hope you always make me laugh, just as you have every single day for the past two years.

I hope you never lose that sparkle in your eye that totally lights up your face.

I hope you remain the best of friends with your siblings. You’ll never find people who’ll love you like they will.

I hope you find a partner who someday loves you (almost) as much as I do.

I hope you’ll never stop being my baby, even long after you’ve outgrown me.

I hope all of your wishes come true, today and always.

And, I sincerely hope that this prehistoric fascination isn’t a quickly passing phase. Because you are now the proud owner of a boatload of dinosaur shit. Enjoy.

And have the happiest of birthdays. I love you, babe.

HAPPY hAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I have that cookie/sandwich cutter too. My daughter loves dinosaurs and lives her sandwiches in the shape. I will have to remember they cut pancakes next time.

Those cupcakes look so very good! WOW. Is it crushed oreos on green icing? You made them look so very very special.
