Birthday Eve... Josiah's 7!!!

My middle boy... Josiah
Josiah is the light in a room, he can make anyone smile and almost always laugh.  His smile is contagious.  His affection is perfection.  He loves and cares for people and animals harder than anyone i know.  7 years ago on this night i knew in the morning that i would be headed to the hospital to have my second son.  I was scared because this time was different than the last.  I was excited but nervous at the same time.  I couldn't have imagined the joy Josiah (who wasn't named until the day we left the hospital) would bring into my life.
Josiah is just about to finish 1st grade and has made incredible growth.  His teacher has described him as the kiddo everyone wants to be friends with.  After going on a field trip last week with his class i could see this was true.  When the kids were asked to get a partner everyone in our group wanted to be partners with my JoJo.  Being the middle kiddo can sometimes be hard but Jo does it beautifully.  He keeps up with his big brother but also plays nicely with his little brother.  He's the first to offer to help me or anyone when requested.
I couldn't be prouder of my big boy!  Mommy Loves you to the moon and back JoJo, XOXO
