Happy 5th birthday, Eli!

5 years ago today, you made me a mom for a second time. I was scared, probably a little more this time, because you kinda came into our lives with surprise and a little unexpected.
You rock my world every single day and I love watching you because honestly, I see a lot of myself in you. You aren't afraid to take chances, are a little bossy and are much louder than you should be. I love your "I can do anything" attitude, within reason, and your spontaneity, spunk and sassiness. 
Thank you for letting me see the world again through your eyes and teaching me daily lessons of patience, love and risk taking. Don't ever stop being curious but you can stop making me watch the same episode of Yo Gabba Gabba over and over.
I love you, Eli and I'm lucky that you call me momma. Happy 5th birthday, kid! ‪#‎eliisfive‬ ‪#‎letsgobowling‬
