This will be his last year in the single digits. Today Cody, my first born son, turns nine. As my long time readers know, Cody was born premature – a 26 weeker. He weighed 2 pounds 1.5 ounces. I consider it an honor to be his mom and I cannot tell you how much he means to me, how much he has changed my life, has shaped me and bettered me as a person.
I wrote this on his birthday the first year I started blogging. I reread it a couple times a year – his birthday being one of those times. I have reblogged it each year and will continue to do so.
It tells a story of one day.
It is a small story but a very large part of how I am where I am and how I have become me.
I hope you take the time to read it – even if you may have read it once (or twice) before.
Happy Birthday my sweet, compassionate, wonderful miracle of a boy.
Shoes On The Wrong Feet 
Beautiful! Hope he has a wonderful day and you too. Don’t forget, it’s his birthday but it’s also your “Momiversary” so celebrate you today too!
It was a grand day. His birthday was celebrated over the course of three days with a requested pancake dinner on his actual birthday on Thursday, Friday Husband delivered cookies to his class, and Saturday was his birthday party. 🙂
What a journey it has been for all of you ! Hope Cody has a marvellous b’day 🙂
Quite the start of an incredible journey! Cody is such an amazing kiddo.
Happy Birthday to your lovely boy!!!
I will read your post about your worst day.
Thanks. It was a life changer of a day, I will tell you that.
