Happy Birthday Little Man
Today you turn 6. It seems like an eternity ago you were turning 3 in an orphanage, completely unaware that we were out here, thinking about you and hoping that you were having a good birthday. We were waiting to go to Russia to meet you and Vika for the first time, and were quite saddened by the fact that you would spend yet another birthday without a family to celebrate it with you.Those days are long gone now, and the little boy whose picture I stared at 3 years ago is so different from the boy you are today. The mischievous sparkle in your eyes and your goofy little grin never fail to put a smile on my face. Your affectionate nature and kissable cheeks make me want to hold you in my arms for hours. Although you can only stand being there for a few minutes before you are off to do something else. Often you will say, “I love you Mama!” while doing everyday things, like coloring a picture or watching TV. Even though you seem to say it with very little thought, it still warms my heart every single time.
Your face is so expressive, that we can always tell what you are thinking, even before you say a word. Because of this (and the “Lollipop Guild” way you quirk your mouth) Papa and I say you have a “rubber face.” It’s part of your charm, and I hope it never changes. You are also an old soul, understanding things on a deeper level than most children your age. If someone is sad or hurt, you are the first to try to help him or her feel better. You find genuine happiness in the happiness of others.
Eamon, you are a remarkable young man, and every day I feel lucky that you are a part of my family. You are the son I was always meant to have – my little buddy and the delight of my heart.
Happy birthday little man. I hope you have a wonderful day and get all the Star Wars toys your heart desires!
Happy Birthday Eamon! Anton really like the picture and ATC that you sent him - Alina and I loved the ones we got from your sister and mom. We are all wishing you a very very happy birthday!
Happy Birday Eamon! Hope you have an awesome day! :)
Eamon! You've turned into a GIANT! We're so glad you were born. Have a happy, happy day. May the force with with you. ;>
HaPpY 6th BiRtHdAy!! My daughter, also from Russia, turned 6 ten days ago and she says it's the best year yet! I hope yours is as good as hers. :)
I have to laugh. Our birthday posts are very similar, especially how you wrote this, "You are also an old soul, understanding things on a deeper level than most children your age." I pretty much said the same thing about Katrina. So many times things have come out of her mouth and I am just blown away by the depth of it all.
Amazing gifts, aren't they?
Eamon is quite an incredible little boy and I can't wait to kiss those little cheeks tonight when I wish him a Happy Birthday!
Here's to getting all your wishes come true
Happy Birthday, Eamon! I love the big ol' impish grin. What a gorgeous kid. My god-daughter turns 6 today, too. Seems 10/7/02 was a day for some mighty special people to be born!
Happy Birthday Eamon!!!
Enjoy your day!
