Five candles this year on his birthday cake --a sorry-looking carrot cake with pumpkin frosting and red decorating icing. Very Chinese colors: Red and gold. Not planned; just came out that way. Oh, and the star? Josh asked me to add it. Though not much to look to at, the cake was yummy (even if I do say so myself).
Five years of being a mother. Five years of fumbling with parenthood. Five years of humbling lessons and proud moments. Five years of incomparable joy and contentment.
Five years of re-discovering the wonder of childhood, through Josh’s eyes.
Five years of silly moments and learning, learning to pick my battles.
Five years filled with wonder. Wonder that this amazing little boy is entrusted to our care.
Five years of working at being a better me… for this little guy. Sometimes failing, yet always forgiven by the big heart that beats inside this wonderful little person.
Our little man, chatterbox extraordinaire. Sweet big brother. Aspiring artist. Budding reader. Happy birthday, Josh. I love you 889,321,076,895,233,194,355 times, sweet boy!

Josh, you bring a smile to my face! I hope you have the greatest birthday ever! Can you save me a piece of cake? Pretty please?
Happy 5th birthday Josh!
Have I ever told you how much I adore those cheeks?!
Happy birthday, Josh!
Happy Birthday to your little guy. Loved the pictures, I think (so hard to choose) the one with alphabet stickers all over his face was the cutest.
While I think you did an awesome job decorating the cake, I'm all about the taste anyway. I'd rather it taste better than it looks than the other way around.
Happy birthday to your little one! I think the cake looks perfect and wonderful.
By the way, thank you so much for your suggestions on the constipation issue!
Happy birthday to your boy.
Such a precious boy :) It's been fun getting to know him a little through your blog. Happy Birthday, Josh!
Happy Birthday to your baby boy! I could just eat him up! :)
"Working at being a better me... for this little guy." And that sums up parenthood in a nutshell. Happy five years together! And happy birthday, Josh!
What a cutie! And I think the cake looks pretty great too. Happy Birthday to your little man!
Happy birthday Josh!!! I hope you have a great day!
