Happy Birthday Sweet Sullivan James

SEVEN. Stop it.

Happy 7th birthday, Sully. You are such an amazing little human. You take everything in and are so thoughtful about the people around you. Your 6th year was a big one for knowing what you like, trying new things and finding new friends at Shannon Park-- we are so excited to see what happens this year. When I asked you today if being 7 felt any different than being 6 you told me no, then promptly told me that when you grow up you are going to be an army guy or on a SWAT team. That's big talk coming from a muffin who still pitter patters into our bedroom every night around 3 a.m. to crawl into bed with me to cuddle for the last few hours of sleep... but I believe you when you say you want to be a hero, that all lines up. But until then, you'll nest here with me and we'll keep eating chips and singing Encanto and doing piggy backs every night to get upstairs for bed time.

I love you and am proud of who you are and who you are becoming 💗

Love, mom
