Where Exactly Did The Last 12 Years Go?

If anyone knows what happened to my chubby-cheeked and chunky-thigh baby, please tell me.
Because I woke up this morning to a 12 year-old.




Before I break into a weepy version of "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce...
Let me just say "Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday" to the best boy ever.

I tried to keep you 3 forever, and that didn't work.
I tried to hold you still at 7, but that was a waste of energy.
I considered the "brick on the head" trick at 11, but here we are today...

Wishing you a happy 12th birthday.
I wouldn't trade a single second of the last 12 years for anything.

Take it away Jim...

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you.
