1. I went into labor right after a visit to the OB's office and hearing the news that it would probably be another week or so...
2. I think it was the Mushroom Burger at Ruby Tuesday's that "did it"! We called EVERYONE from our hospital bed just 20 minutes after he was born...it was a VERY special day!!
3. He has had stitches at least once, has been bruised and bumped, but has never broken anything.
4. I was his Kindergarten Teacher...which I loved.
5. He graduated from High School last week after spending a semester in college classes and finishing a nursing program.
6. He was part of an awesome (and loud) concert last night for the Middle School Youth Group.
7. He surprised me with an incredible bass solo on the last song...and I was equally surprised to see him fling the guitar around his neck a few times and dance up a storm on stage.
8. We call him his Dad's "Younger Twin"...although he has also developed much of his own unique personality as well.
9. He is a gifted speaker.
10. He loves music of all kinds. I love that he is open to listen to anything and accepts it for the art that it is.
11. He is going on his first mission trip this summer to Belize.
12. He is fun-loving and funny at times. I appreciate his humor and enjoy just spending time talking to him and listening to him and his dreams.
13. He is VERY special to his family...and especially to his Mother. I love to see the twinkle in his eye...his general willingness to try new things...and his drive! I know he is making a difference in the world...and I am extremely PROUD of him!!
Happy Birthday, Son! I love you!!

Very nice post about your son. Thanks for visiting my T13 happy birthday to your son!!
Your son sounds very nice. Happy birthday to him. I hope he enjoys Belize and can appreciate the fantastic culture in that tiny paradise - it is one of my favourite countries.
This is such a sweet tribute to a very precious son. I have a little one myself.. he just turned 1 and had to have heart surgery recently but came through it with flying colors. I have already made hundreds of lists regarding my little guy and looking forward to lifetime more of them. Thanks for sharing. :)
That was a beautiful list! I hope your son knows what a great mom he has. Mission Trip to Belize...awesome! That's on my list for mission trips...maybe that will be my TT for next week!

What a great list. I hope you print it out for him and put it in his baby book. It sure is a keeper.
He's a lucky boy to have such a good mom.
