Colton Turns 19!

Colton Walter turns 19 tomorrow!

Nineteen.

My baby is going to be 19.

This guy is thriving... doing ALL the things I was told he'd never do.

And doing them SO well.

This boy was born two months early.

He was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, Pediatric Anxiety and several learning disabilities while still in elementary school.

Medication, therapy, and meetings were a daily part of our day.

By "our," I mean Colton, his brothers, and I.

His brothers and I never treated him different.

We challenged him and watched as he grew and developed strengths and talents that made him the most perfect fifth member of our team.

Colton is my buddy.

I never see him anymore.

He is busy with the gym, friends, and work.

He is independent, funny, hard-working, kind, and amazing.

Colton LOVES his brothers, sisters, and niece.

He loves his mama, too.

He is pure joy and I am honored to be his mama.

Happy birthday, Boogie.

Mama loves you moon sized!
