Happy 16th!

I was dying to call Will this morning at 2:06am to wake him and wish him a Happy Birthday!  He didn't think it was necessary.  I thought that since he kept me awake at 2am when he was born, I should get to return the favor.  Yep, I value my sleep and can hold a grudge :)

I remember that night like it was yesterday though.  We didn't get checked into the hospital until just after 11:30pm and just a few short hours later, Will arrived.  He was the picture of peace the minute they handed him to me.  My very own little piece of zen.  He never cried, he slept through the night at six weeks and he lived in a bubble of calmness.  Even today, spending five minutes with him is the most peaceful experience.  It's a trait not many people have.  I'm very lucky....as is anyone that takes five minutes to sit down with him.

Happy Birthday, William!  May all of the peace and tranquility you send out into the world come back to you tenfold.  I love you more than you'll ever know!
