What strikes me is how much can happen in nine years. How much can change. How much a boy can change, yes, of course.
But also, how much I have changed.
Nine years ago today I became a mom for the first time.
I went to school for eighteen years but this birthday boy is the best teacher I ever had.
Nine years later, it's wonderful to celebrate this day with rainbow saturn cakes (Leo's request) and super hero masks.
And the only tears are happy ones.
