There are days where we butt heads, argue and generally don’t get along. There are days where we are the best of friends. There are days where I am astounded at how grown-up you are. There are days where I wish you would grow up a little faster. No matter what I am feeling, I remain profoundly proud to be your mother.
You have so much to offer this world, and I enjoy watching you discover your potential, your passions, and your strengths. For ten years, I have watched you blossom into an athlete with amazing running ability, an artist with a phenomenal eye for symmetry, a gifted pianist, and a scholar who is intelligent beyond my wildest dreams. The world is literally yours to conquer.
Have a very happy birthday, Connor. I hope you have the best day ever and an even better year to come. I love you.

That is too funny! I am so used to hearing that he is the spitting image of my husband, that I never consider that he looks like me!
Happy Birthday, Connor! He's your Mini-me, Michelle!
He did. Thanks!
How lovely.
Happy Birthday Connor! I hope you've had a fabulous day.
Thanks, Michelle! He looks more like me as he gets older. He acts just like me too, unfortunately!
Thanks, Chris!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Connor! He looks just like you!
My son wears glasses too. 🙂
