Dear Jaxon,

I have been thinking about what to write in this post since during your momma’s lunch break one day last week, we let you smash up some cake. I came up with this. You are the only person I have known in my lifetime since the minute you were born. I didn’t know my siblings as soon as they were born or anyone else in this whole world. And I won’t experience this again likely until I have my own children. This means, I have decided that you and I have a special bond. You used to kick like crazy when I would be over late at night hanging out with your mom or even when I was just on the phone with her and you seem to always remember me no matter how many weeks or months go by between me seeing you. So, bonded. I’m so happy to be your mom’s best friend so I can watch you grow up into whatever you end up being – whether that means I am getting you out of trouble without your mom knowing or getting you into trouble to have fun – I cannot wait. Happy birthday, Jaxon!

xoxo,
Dani
