Happy birthday Toby.

I hope you enjoy you're birthday. I hope it lives up to all the expectations you've been struggling with for the last few weeks. I know how important you're friends are to you. That's why we have 8 boys sleeping over.

I am proud of you for remaining confident this year in the face of so many frustrations learning to read and write. I hope things will come easier for you in the next year.

I am proud of your tireless energy for playing and creating games. The inventions all over our yard make me happy.

I love you very much.

I hope all Tobe's expectations were met. If it was any indication when I left, I'm sure they were. I hope you had a good, crazy night. You have an amazing family and I love you all! I hope everyone is sleeping peacefully, see you in the morning.

Happy Birthday to dear Toby. He looks happy and gorgeous, what an amazing job you have done Jess.

I hope you survived the craziness of the sleep over, I am sure Toby loved every minute of it.

Take care, be kind to yourself.
