Five

Five years ago today, I gave birth to my first born son.  I don't have many pictures of those first days in the hospital but I have strong memories of him.  His eyes were open from the moment he was born.  At night the room would be completely dark.  BB would look around the room with his big eyes and, despite being exhausted, I couldn't bear to sleep and miss looking at him.

Today BB will be having a small party with his classmates and share Oreo (actually Newmans) cookies.  It's the only kind of cookie he will eat.  Tonight is our family party where we will celebrate the last five years.  This kid changed my life forever.  Happy Birthday, BB.
