“MY BABY IS 5!!!!! somebody slow down time now please,” she wrote. “RILEY THOMAS TRAINOR you make us so beyond proud. You are so smart and so silly. You’re always trying to make everyone laugh.”
She revealed that at just five years old, Riley has developed a keen interest in the world’s tallest buildings and can name them along with the countries they are located in. Trainor also shared glimpses of her son’s favourite things, from My Little Pony and airplanes to listening to songs by Zara Larsson. Pizza, she added, remains his top comfort food.
“You’re favourite song is anything by @zaralarsson. Your favourite food is pizza and your dream is to travel all over the world,” she wrote, adding that Riley is among the top readers in his class and an incredibly caring big brother.
Calling him a reflection of herself, Trainor ended the note on an emotional note, saying she loves him “past the moon, out to all the galaxies and back”.
“Happy birthday to my first baby Riley,” she concluded.
