My sweet boy is now four. Hard to believe my baby has gown so much. For his birthday I made him a photo book with pictures of his beloved Meow, and a photo book of his family. He was thrilled.
For the first time, his birthday came with much joy and anticipation this year. Celebrating birthdays of a child with developmental delays can be bitter sweet. I still worry, I still wonder everyday what he would have been like without a disability, I worry about when people ask me how old he is and how I have to say four, and how he obviously does not seem four, and how I am going to explain myself. But for the most part this year I celebrate his fourth birthday with joy.
Cyrus is the sweetest boy on earth, and no mother has ever loved any boy as much as I love this boy.
