It has been an incredible journey over the last six years, starting with his unexpected arrival almost 7 weeks early. He kept me worrying so much in those early weeks! I still remember walking into the neonatal intensive unit on Mother's Day and the nurses telling me "Congrats mom, your little boy is off the ventilator". Man, that was the best mother's day gift ever! To know that things were going to be ok for my child just doesn't compare to anything else. I've continued to worry about all kinds of things over these six years and I suppose I'll do so for the rest of my life. But to see his amazing smile and hear his sweet voice brings so much happiness, even in the midst of the chaos of our daily life.
I've been told that sometimes the days are long, but the years fly by. My how unbelievably true that is! I'm amazed by how much joy he has brought into my life. I can't imagine what my life and our family would be like without him.
Happy Birthday J. I love you so incredibly much.
Here's my little Warhol-esqe play with him through the years - from birth to six years old!

Ooh, this is so neat! I love the "pop art" stuff! :)
Neat! I'd love to see this without the play as well.
How cool.
What a cool idea! Great journaling.
Whoa...that's pretty trippy:) Are you going to put it in his room? I bet he'd love it!
Really neat collage! What a terrific, creative idea!
Your processing and your journaling is amazing. I think you never really stop worrying when you are a mom...no matter what!
Very cool!!!!
Love this pop art collage! Those 6 years are crazy huh. Sometimes you feel like a moment will last forever and then you realize your baby is growing up.
I love that pop art look. This would look cool hanging on the wall.

Happy Birthday to your DS! He's a cutie and the collage is so cool!
