My Favorite Boy

The Conductor is three today!

He has grown into this amazing, funny, sweet kid, and I can’t even put into words how much I adore him.

I can’t believe this tiny baby turned into a whirlwind of a toddler, running all over, laughing his head off, jumping onto to me without the slightest bit of warning.  He is the best!  When he was born, they took him away for a while – I can’t remember why – so I didn’t get to hold him until the next day, but I remember just being awed at his presence.  He was the happiest (and giantest) baby I ever met, and even now he’s just so joyful.

This is one of my favorite pictures of him, taken when he was about eight months old.  He still makes this look now, like he’s this close to getting into some mischief.

I’m headed down to Richmond today for his birthday (and a belated Christmas), and I can’t wait to see him and give him a million birthday kisses!
