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.
Toby is 8 today

Happy Birthday, Sweet Toby! You give your mother such happiness!
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.
He is such a handsome boy! You’re doing just fine, Jess, just fine.
Hugs.
