Wishing our sweet, not-so-baby baby of the house, Dayven, the happiest 15th Birthday! đ
In the first photo, thatâs Dayven on the right and his ever-steady older brother, Rohan, on the left.
If I had to describe Devu in just a few words: sweet, joyful, magnetic, expressive, and filled with just the right amount of cheeky mischief! đ The kind that brings a sparkle to his eyes and often convinces serious Rohan, to come along for the ride. Together, theyâve made a thousand memories I never want to forget.
Devuâs the kind of kid who makes a best friend in minutes. His ability to connect is rare. He lights up when he makes someone laugh, and carries the biggest grin when heâs fully and truly himself.
One of his most beautiful traits is his compassion, especially when it comes to animals. From lizards to dolphins to the way he speaks âcanineseâ with Coco and Gigi, thereâs something so tender and sweet in him that you donât just see it, you feel it. When you watch an animal feel so understood by him, it reminds you of what love looks like, when itâs effortless. đś
One of my favorite things to do is drag Devu into the creative world I love, the stuff Rohan jumps into without hesitation! But Devu on the other hand, greets with eye-rolls and dramatic sighs, ugh, I know - so painful! Holiday decorating, tablescapes, antiquing, pottery making. He resists, but heâs a good sport and usually goes along. And then, like clockwork, something shifts. He gets quiet, focused, deeply in tune. In those moments, I get to witness the joy of him getting lost in the process, creating, exploring, simply being himself.
Lately his sense of humor has really started to come out and his one-liners are spot on, and oh so funny! Part of me is so excited to see who heâs becoming. Like where did he get this funny personality from?!
But, then thereâs the mama part that just wants time to slow down, even just a little. 𼚠That maybe, somehow, we could hold onto this chapter a little longer. And hopefully we get to, with the lazy days of summer just ahead.
We love you, Devu. You are our baby. You are our heart. đ
