"...all of a sudden...your words know how to hold hands."

Such a perfect "tumble of emotions" description.

Happy birthday, Myles!

You ever write a sentence and just smile at it. That was it for me - thank you, from the family!

Marc, I learned about you from your LIVE with Alex. LOVE your writing and love Myles even though we’ve never met. I’m a grandmother of six and have three children (in their 40s). I adore babies and teenagers, especially… did Myles skip or run to the bathroom??! Brilliant parenting, btw.

Debbie, I wish I could take credit for the skip or run technique; but it's all my partner. He mostly picks skips! And then he's always looking back to make sure we are skipping too -- only form of cardio we ever get these days! lol Thank you so much! Six sounds like wonderful - I know they each in their own way bring you a little warmth.

There's a saying, the days are long, but the years are short. I can tell you this is absolutely true. My youngest baby graduated high school yesterday and is going off to college in the fall. Just a moment ago he was so excited to ride the school bus just like his big brother. It's a long, hard road, parenting is. But so full of joy, love, tears, and more love.

I can't believe he's 2! Happy birthday to all 3 of you.

I can't believe one day he'll be going to high school. Like how?!!!!!

It's baffling. For you, I'm sure kindergarten seems eons away. One day they want uppy and the next day they want the car keys. I know it's cliche, but enjoy every moment, even those moments when you are covered in poop or vomit. Because those days are limited. It's SO HARD when they are small, but it's a different kind of hard when they are ready to fly away.

Ohhh Emmy, that firs line really made my whole day - thank you so much! Yes, this birth day is as much hours as it is his. I appreciate you for saying that. Parents don't seem to matter as much when the little one comes along lol

Happy Birthday Myles. 🧁 you are so loved and cherished!!!

And happy birth day to you and Maya. The day you became his parents. What a day. What an instant transformation. I always joke it’s like if I went through puberty in a day 😂

What an amazing cake to match an amazing day. Myles you are growing fast and I love watching it. Great job mom and dad.

When time is flying by I look to be “present” and in the moment. Reminding myself that the current experience will happen only once. That’ll usually cement the experience and memory into my psyche allowing me to enjoy it even more.
