IN A FLASH- SUPER DASH TURNS 4!



                                  
IN A FLASH- SUPER DASH TURNS 4!

Oh Sweet Dashy, how is it that we have so quickly arrived at the eve of your 4th birthday?

Despite that I do my best to appreciate the little things- soak up moments in their uniqueness, I am still and always will be in awe of our ever swift and unwavering friend: Time!

It’s almost impossible to fathom that four years ago,  I was laying in bed- a mommy of 21-month-old, blonde curly haired Camden and the next day, I was privileged to hold the miracle of you in my arms and close to my heart.

Suddenly, in an instant, I became a mommy of two precious and beautiful miracles!

And as it was with Camden, our first baby, I felt like I had known you my entire life!

I knew you were my purpose and instantly felt a new realm of love that I’d never known possible.

As your delivery date approached, I recall feeling nervous that my heart wouldn’t be big enough to hold even more love... I’d already thought I’d given all I could to Camden and your Daddy!

But there you were, so teeny tiny yet eager for the world and those in it ready to love on you!

From the moment the nurse placed you in my arms in it was obvious that you knew who you were and what you wanted…and you haven’t stopped living with that same fearlessness ever since!

Tiny yet determined- that’s always been Our Dashy B!

Doctors told us you might have cystic fibrosis when you were in my belly and once we’d learned that not the case, we were told at thirteen months that there was a concern for muscular dystrophy.

I remember praying that you’d be able to keep up with your big brother…and thank God you do exactly that! 
In fact, you give us all a run for our money with your off the chart vocabulary, old soul, and crazy dance moves and rhythm!

I couldn’t ask for a more spunky, sassy, determined, hilarious, quirky, talented, musical, and loving little person to walk beside me hand in hand throughout these magical childhood years! 

You’ve completed our family brilliantly and are wonderfully and perfectly made!

Your strong willed and intelligent approach catches me off guard, frustrates me, and even makes me laugh in moments when I shouldn’t!

My love for you explodes from my heart daily and wouldn’t trade you for anyone or anything!

The gift of having two boys so close in age is one that I treasure beyond explanation!

Today you and Camden both played outside in the yard for hours running, giggling, getting dirty, exploring trees, plants, and the vast lands of make believe… Together!

What a brilliant view from our back door…one I will never take for granted!

Watching Camden doting on you at your birthday party this weekend ignited my heart and brought tears to my eyes! His arm around you, hugging you close during a group photo, filled me with an indescribable joy!

Your current passion is for dancing, making others laugh (even when they shouldn't), and of course dolphins and ninja turtles!

I love turning on music and watching the beat invade your soul! You just HAVE to dance! It’s a contagious energy that I hope always remains!

I know I always ask you and your brother to “slow down” in the growing department, but in all honesty, I have loved every moment past and present and I truly can’t wait to see what the future holds!

So as you leave the baby years behind, chubby cheeks and all, I am thrilled to look back on what was with smiles, tears, and joy; and hold tight to your still tiny hand as we walk through the doors of what has yet to come.

There are no words that will ever explain the bountiful love and pride that I feel each and every day because I was chosen to be the mommy of the amazing Dashton Bleu Weber!

Happiest 4th Birthday To My Future World Changer, My Little Boy Bleu, My Shooner, Pinken, Poods, Wackah Packah, Munkin, Sweetie Precious, Dashy B, D, Wacka Do, and Love Of My Life!

I Love You “50 and One Hundred” and To Infinity and Beyond!

I can’t wait to watch you become who you’re destined to be- what an honor to be part of your journey!

Love, Love, Love- Mommy
