Liam Turns Eight!

Good grief, where has the time gone?  I know that every parent asks this question when their kids get a year older, but it really is flying by fast!  I am so proud to call this little boy my own.  He has his ups and downs and keeps us on our toes, but he really is an awesome kid.  Everyone tells me how sweet or precious he is or how bright he is.  They say he's a real joy to have in class.  Secretly, I think every teacher says the kids are a joy to have in class to every parent.  It's their job, right?  I'm still sitting here scratching my head that he is two years away from being in double digits!  My baby is growing up and maturing every day.  He is learning so much and progressing in so many ways!  Just the other day Liam taught himself to swing from bar to bar on the monkey bars.  The sound of accomplishment and pride in his voice made me tear up.  He was squealing with excitement.  You know he had to do it about ten times more just to prove to himself that it wasn't just a coincidence.  He is becoming more and more self sufficient.  He gets the same feeling of accomplishment and pride when he makes his own chocolate milk.  I love experiencing things with him and watching him grow.  Happy Birthday, sweet man!  We love you so much and look forward to your future accomplishments!
