"Goodest Smartypants"
aka Henley Roland Garner
Bike-riding, fast-running boy full-of-JOY!
Henley at 5 is a THANKFUL boy.
Any gift he LOVES.
He smiles SO big.
Often says "THANKS" followed by a hug.
For mommy a kiss.
I love his grateful, thankful heart.
Nana's sign on his birthday cake says it well.
Henley loves being CAPTAIN.
The guy in charge.
He is at his best when he has a mission.
Lately, helping mommy set the table.
A first chore.
$1 a week.
His chest swells with pride on allowance day.
Mommy's too.
Henley isn't shy.
He is quick to raise his hand with the answer.
Henley tends to have answers often.
His wheels turn constantly,
take time to listen,
you never know what he will say next.
Captain Henley BLOOMS when given 1:1 time.
Take away sibling distraction
and competition,
and this guy will knock your socks off!
Now, where did my socks go?
Henley,
you are an amazing son.
You are so unique and special,
BURSTING with passion,
and a true zest for life.
I hope age FIVE
brings you even closer to your brother
and your sister,
and I have more time to see you grow.
Keep running with your eyes and arms wide open!
Life is GOOD with you in our home.
I love you,
Mommy.
