day 75: "i am thankful for......9 YEARS!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!

today, my youngest turns 9 yrs old!  i just can't believe my baby is almost to double digits! ry was born on langley afb in virginia.  he came into this world with a little sweet 'whimper'.  it was the sweetest sound i had ever heard! ryan is one of those kids that likes to please.  he just wants me to be happy :0)  he still asks me to lay with him and sing to him at bedtime and by golly.....i'm gonna hold onto that for as long as i can!

when he was a baby, i use to sing him this lullaby...it's from this book 'love you forever' .  i added to it to make it 'ours'.

♪♫i'll love you forever, i'll like you for always

    as long as i'm living, my baby you'll be...

    i'll love you forever, and always and ever..

    as long as i'm living...my ry guy you'll be♪♫

i still sing him this song (and he sings with me)....almost every night.  i love you my ry guy! and i am so proud of the little boy you are and the young man you are becoming!  stay sweet.....always.
