PARTY TIME!

Today my little boy turns six.  SIX.  I swear it feels like he should still be a baby.  The time just goes by too quickly.  He's growing up.  And what a fine fellow he's going to be.


So, in honor of his birthday I would like to share a few of the things that make my beautiful boy so special:

  • He loves everyone.  He thinks everyone is beautiful in some way.  EVERYONE.  I have never once heard him make fun of someone or make someone feel less than awesome.
  • He is the sweetest soul I have ever known.  He is so kind and empathetic.  If someone's feelings are hurt, so are his.  When a person cringes in emotional or physical pain, he cringes right along with them.  I've never met a kinder human being.
  • He CARES about other people.  Like, when he says "How are you today?"  he really wants to know.  He isn't asking because it's socially expected.
  • He doesn't like to get dirty.  Never has.
  • He works below grade level but he works so incredibly hard.  It touches my heart to see how much of himself he pours into trying new things.
  • He has a TON of energy.  He could make one of those English serious soldiers laugh any day.  I'm certain of it.  
  • He thinks farts are hilarious.  As long as he's the one doing the farting.  Otherwise, they're atrocious.
  • He is the best big brother a sibling could ever ask for.  If how he deals with big brotherhood is any indication of the kind of father he'll someday be, then I have to say he's going to have the most blessed kids on the planet.
  • He's thoughtful.  He doesn't do something without thinking of someone else.  EX: When he was in public school the children got to go to the "Treasure Box".  He could have gotten one toy or two pieces of candy.  He REALLY wanted the toy but he got the candy so his sister could have some too.  
  • I love to hear him pray.
  • He rarely gets angry but when Laney ripped the story of Adam and Eve out of his children's Bible he screamed "NOW HOW ARE WE GOING TO KNOW HOW THE WORLD BEGAN?!?!?"
  • He chooses his battles.
  • He doesn't complain.
  • He knows exactly what he wants and he sets and attains his goals.


He's a very special little guy, there's no doubt about it.  Happy Birthday Sweet Boy.
