Because Tomorrow You’ll Be One.


Each morning when you wake up
You are super snuggly and all smiles.
So this morning I’ll snuggle a little longer
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

Peek a Boo and Where’s the Baby?
You are always playing games.
So today I’ll play a little longer
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

You laugh as we read book after book
And make funny faces in the mirror.
So today I’ll linger a little longer
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

As you throw your lunch on the floor
And say uh oh! over and over again
I’ll be a little more patient
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

When it’s nap time and we’re rocking
And it’s time to lay you down
I will rock and hold you a little longer
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

Being outside swinging while we sing
Makes you happy. Makes you laugh. Makes you smile.
So we will swing and sing a little longer
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

Sometimes life gets really busy.
Chores and church and therapy and play group have us always on the go.
So today I will sit and just breathe you in
Because tomorrow you'll be One.

You always love bath time.
You could slash and kick forever.
So tonight I will let you play until you prune
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

Bedtime nursing is our special time.
It’s been that way since day one.
So tonight I’ll make sure you have my undivided attention
Because tomorrow you’ll be One.

Although tomorrow is just another day
And nothing about us is going to change
I will cherish this first year we’ve had together
And the memories we’ve made.

Tomorrow you turn One my love
Congratulations! Bravo! Hooray!
This is just the beginning of our amazing ride
I love you more each and every day.


You’re one of the most amazing people I know, Sullivan. You’re my hero, and I love you more than you will ever know.
