Today I bought invitations for my sons birthday party. He is having his party at the Karate academy. This will be his first real birthday party since he was one. Here is a picture of him on his last birthday.
He was not able to have a party outside of class he could not handle the noise. This picture make me sad and happy at the same time happy because he is smiling but sad because he was so afraid of the world around him. He would never just look at people and could easily explode in a fitful rage. i remember like it was yesterday but thank God that he is so much better. i preach early intervention because it works.
This picture of him with his dad fishing was taken last month. Look at the difference he is a new little boy.
He engages the camera and you as a person. This year as i sat down tonight to do his invitations, I am reminded how blessed I am and how happy I am to be a mom.
I bought these adorable invitations at the store and at first was just going to fill them out but in the end. I added stickles and distress ink and made them as special as he is to me. I hope he feels a sense of pride as he hands them to his classmates.
This little boy is my mamas boy and means everything to me. I am counting down the days when I get to celebrate with all his friends his birthday. James will be 6 years old.
Thank you for letting me share my beautiful boy and why making his invitations tonight has made my month.
Now tomorrow I will be posting all about my Prima Extravaganza Weekend at
Scrappin at The Pink House September 26th. Stay tuned for all the details and all the amazing classes.
Have a scrappy day
Michelle
I'm so happy for you, Michelle!
