Mommy's birthday has come and gone, and I wish we could have all spent it together. Daddy had to go out of town, and Mommy had a meeting. Grown up work always gets in the way. I know Mommy's birthday is a special day, so I need to remind her how special she is to us. Here are a few reasons my Mommy is special...

-She's given up sleep for over a year so that I can grow and stay healthy

-She's been trapped in our house and is half crazy--all to keep me away from germs

-She takes care of my big sister and my daddy (sort of like having three kids)

-She always puts others before herself

It makes me tired thinking about it, but I hope someday I grow up to be just like my mommy...we love her.
