dear almost 8 year old boy~

you are my world.

i would be lost without you.

how lucky i am to get to raise you,

to love you, 

 and to watch you...

turn from a baby to a boy...

oh my little boy,

you are loved.

i love your laugh, 

your smile,

your running out to play,

 dressed up in super hero gear.

your beautiful artwork around the house,

melts my heart.

imagination fills your mind, 

and the world is yours.

no matter how big you get, 

at the end of the day

you melt into my arms, 

for a snuggle, 

for a kiss,

and a smile from your mom.

these moments are mine...

mine to cherish, 

to treasure.

never lose your charm,

the small things that make you

who you are.

tHe StOrY oF sHaRk ToOTh

once upon a time a little boy kept a secret.

hE felt an extra tooth growing in hIs mouth.

one day hE accidentally started talking about hIs tooth.

so hIs momma said, "let mE see in your mouth little boy".

so hE opened hIs mouth wide and let hEr look inside.

sHe said, "son, yOu have a new row of teeth that are starting to grow, 

wE'lL have to go to the dentist".

the little boy said, "NO!.....i want to keep all my teeth."

hIs momma had to explain that if hE never lost his teeth to

make room for the new ones then hE'd have two rows of teeth, 

just like a shark.

this made the boy smile.

there were smiles and grins as the day of dentist begins, 

but soon changed to fear as the drills began 

to appear.

the trip ended with gauze, some things missing, and a sleep grin.

the boy left with a box 

with two teeth of it's own

and the shark tooth would soon find

the right way to grow.

the boy was happy to loose hIs first two teeth, 

and wrote the tooth fairy a note to please

leave hIs teeth behind....as well 

as a little money.

the end.
