TEN

Double digits

One entire decade

A ten-fold of loop-de-loops around the sun.

That’s our birthday boy,

THE LITTLE MISTER!

He’s as bold as a bear,
as cool as a popsicle,
and as goofy as a clown.

He’s the sweet cream who holds our Little Oreo Cookie together,

And golly, do we love him!

The Little Mister has had a GREAT year.

He has grown in leaps and bounds in his faith, courage, intellect, and leadership.

He has amazed us with how he has tackled challenges with drive and determination.

And most importantly,

He continues to live each day with HEART and passion.

This post is for you, my darling boy.

A moment to pause (not an easy task when you’re a never-stopper’, go-go-getter’ kinda guy!) and look back on your 10th year.

To revel in the incredible Young Man that God is shaping you to be.

And yes, I’ve barely begun this post and I’m already crying…

Love,
Mom

Living the Sweet Life!

Elliott Michael Wright

My TEN Year Old
Little Mister

You’re the most amazing Little Roller Coaster this world ever did see.

With energy (and jokes) that knows no bounds, compassion for everyone (furry and otherwise), and a heart as big as the universe.

The world is a more exciting and loving place because you are in it.

Wackadoodle too.

We LOVE you,

birthday boy!
