Me: "I'm so happy that today is your birthday! You are one cool six year old. I love how you play soccer in the hall every day with Anderson. You are getting so good! I can't wait to go to your games when you and Anderson play for A.C. Milan and you are their goalie! That's going to be so cool! I love how you go in Garrett's room and hang out and play with him for a long time. I love hearing you guys having fun together. I love how we hold hands everywhere we go. You are my six year old bud. I love how you go to bed by yourself and sleep in your bed all night. You are so big! I'm glad Felipe and Lorenzo are getting to come home with you today and get to go to Paulinho's with us. Paulinho LOVES it when we have our birthdays at his restaurant. It's going to be awesome. Thanks for being awesome! Happy Birthday Quigs! I love you!"
