–
Buddy-Ro you are a mess. You are wild and stubborn and hard-headed and sweet and generous and snuggly. So many things about you are a paradox, so you keep us on our toes daily. You are loyal to your family and to your friends. You love to have your back scratched every morning, you want to eat breakfast as soon as you wake up, and then you are "on" all day long. You keep me on my knees because only God understands everything about you and I need His wisdom daily! You and Birdie and Peanut play together well most of the time, and our school days are full of lots of activities and reading together. Even though you are your Daddy's boy, You still share hugs and an occasional kiss with me. I love you dearly and deeply, and I am blessed to be your mama.
Happy 6th Birthday!
