I have a 7 year old....

Tomorrow is the boy's birthday. How did I get to be a woman with a 7 year old? It seems like just yesterday he was teething and now he is losing his second tooth! For those of you that do not know already, the time goes by too quickly. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Make sure you hug your child(ren) every day, more than 5 times, and make sure they know how very special they are. They are your legacy. They are the most perfect extension of you in the flesh. Treat them as such, even when it is the most difficult to do so.

PJ, pass my good wishes on to the birthday boy! It's funny, with my boys, I remember 7 seeming like such an old age at the time and now it seems so long ago.

You're right -- it really does go fast! (Just wait until your baby is taller than you are!) I think I'll go check on the homework progress and give my boys some extra hugs. :-)

Happy (belated) Birthday!
