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
