Today, my little ray of sunshine turned three.
Three years with you Alfie.......
My sweet, happy, ever curious and always talkative little boy.
You spend your days playing with cars and trucks, screwdrivers and hammers. Today, you got your very own lightsaber and you couldn't have been more excited! You love nothing more than diving face first onto sofas, chairs, beds and springer spaniels - and if none of those things are around, the floor will do.
Over the last few months your words have simply exploded and your daddy and I can only stand back and be amazed as you try to put your sentences together.
When I tell you that you are my little 'poppet', you say 'No Mummy, I Alfie Erickson'. When I tell you that you are my baby boy, you frown and say, 'No Mummy, I a big boy - I Alfie Erickson'. Nothing makes me smile more, than when I hear those words..... 'Mummy, I need your help. I need you here.' And I'll always be here Alfie. Whenever you need me...... Thank you for teaching me how to grow in love, every single day.
We will always be grateful for today, because it reminds us so tangibly, that God created this boy - this miracle, when all hope seemed lost. And he made him with as much love and care as when he placed the stars in the sky.
It is something we will never fully understand.
Happy Birthday Alfie. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives.
Love from Mummy xxx
