From the moment Arlo took his first breath, each step I've gained being his mother has been fought for. Nothing comes easy when this kid is involved. Every morning when I put my feet on the floor and begin a new day, I know without a doubt, I will go toe to toe with that blonde boy.
It could be about what he is having for breakfast, what to wear, why he can't ride his bike to school, homework, picking up his mess, why peanut butter isn't not appropriate for every meal. The list goes on and on.
However, that has never deterred me from loving that boy with as much ferocity has he has always deserved.
He woke up this morning and the first thing that he said was "I'm 6 today!"
It was the cutest, most Arlo-ish thing to say and when he does things like that, every fight I go head to head with him is always worth it. He will and has always has been worth it.
Ralph Arlo Stanley V, I love you and absolutely adore you and all you've given to me and this family in the short 6 years you've been alive.
Happy Birthday Arloboy!
