Today my little guy celebrated another turn of the calendar, another year that feels as though it has raced on by, fallen through my fingertips, flashed in a blur. He's six today. So much has changed in just a year. He's more confident. His sense of humor is shining through. He can express himself better and is learning to read. And, yet so much--thankfully so much--remains the same. He still loves to hold my hand when I walk him into the classroom. He loves night-time down time of stories, songs and cuddles, he's curious and full of wonder and his laugh always, always, always brings a smile to my face.
For the third year in a row, he picked neighborhood favorite basis new american cuisine as the location for his family dinner. Again he wore a crazy birthday hat, ordered gourmet mac-n-cheese with a side of strawberries, donned a crazy hat and contemplated wishes over a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream, more strawberries and a flickering candle. This year, however, he kicked up his apparel a notch and requested the tie and dress shirt. He couldn't look more handsome.
Happy birthday, my love.
