Six years old already! Seems like almost yesterday when I was frustrated with the hospital staff. Yes, he is big. So was my sister. No, he's not diabetic. Can I please go home and sleep now? I'm sure he is fine. Well, maybe it seems like a lot longer than yesterday... A lot has happened. Daniel is a great kid. He is sweet. He is thoughtful. Hi is cuddly. He is smart. He is the opposite of all of these.
I keep some keys in my bedroom for the bad days. As a reminder. Long ago (a few months) he was terrible. I was so frustrated with him. Finally Daddy intervened. And why was he miserable? Because he was scared and felt terrible. He'd put the keys in the outlet of his room. And scared himself silly. It even had been arching.
Later I told him angels were watching over him. He could have died.
I should have tokens for the other kids' bad days too. ;) But they haven't had anything that dramatic happen that I have a memento for.
My kitchen was decorated with balloons. Via static electricity. Lots of fuzzy haired people running around after. ;)
Daniel tried (and succeeded some) reading his cards. He was feeling big. He IS big. He is even filling out. No ear infections in over a year. :) Just colds and a flu.
Melanie and Matthew had been upstairs in Melanie's room a lot the week or two before Daniel's big day. They had tape and scissors and lots of whispers. Mom, could we have the car bucket out for Daniel's birthday?
They even ended up taking the last of my wrapping paper and piecing it together, even with a "6"!
A whole city! Skyscrapers, roads, parking lots, ramps, small buildings. All from recycling. (We are so green. ;)
