"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,That's where you'll find me."
Well my Logi Bear, tomorrow you turn 4!
I told you I was whisking you off to Neverland tonight so we could just skip your birthday and you could just stay 3.
Not forever...just a little while longer. It would be quite an adventure I think; going and getting lost together.
You and your brother are my Peter Pans and I love being your Wendy.
If only we had a little pixie dust we'd fly to the second star to the right, and straight on till morning!
Landon promptly reminded me that Neverland "isn't even a real place" so there's that...
He's grown into quite a practical little boy! You though, you're still young enough to believe in magic and fairytales and I love it! Your little world is so vibrant and full of color and I love that I get to be a part of it.
Your world is the stuff dreams are made of.
Sometimes I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Like life is just happening all around me and I am so focused on tasks like laundry, cooking, cleaning, working, etc. It's easy to get caught up and hyper focused on a to-do list and before you know it your world is gray and dull.
You lose sight of the things that really matter.
Then you come along like a little tornado and you sweep me away.
Suddenly I'm caught up in you and you whisk me into a world that is anything but dull and gray.
In your world colors are impossibly bright and anything can happen!
In your world super heroes exist and the only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves.
You are like all the super heroes rolled into one because in your world you can be a teenage mutant ninja turtle (Leonardo) one day and Superman the next. You can even be Spiderman while ALSO being a Knight at the exact same time. Reality is what you make it in your world.
In your world according to you; you used to be a little kid with an entirely different family and in this other life you have memories that are only yours and I just get to hear about them.
And apparently your world has alternate universes because at some point you also used to be a teenager...Sometimes I can't keep up with all the lives you've had at the ripe old age of 4.
I hope you bring pieces of your imagination and the best parts of your wildest dreams from YOUR world into this world! The world could always use more wonder and color.
In the movie Dorothy wants to leave Oz and return home. She says; "there's no place like home".
She is right, there is no place like home.
Home for me is where you are.
You and your brother are my ruby slippers.
So anytime my world starts to lose it's color and shades of gray and sepia take over the landscape
I'll know I'm far from home.
I'll click my heels and let myself get carried away; somewhere over the rainbow with you.
I love you rainbow baby. Happy Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
