Happy 10th Birthday Mr. Sunshine! Glad to see you're enjoying your day.
This morning we started the day with donuts. He chose oreo and lemon-filled for his two.
He still calls me mommy when we're alone, but ignores me when we're around his friends.
He has girl friends, but is mortified at the idea of girlfriends.
He blends in with the group, yet stands alone.
His actions comply, but his thoughts are his own.
He's still a whirlwind, but maturity is starting to peek through.
He's always been kind, but recently he's been learning patience too.
Tonight, we went to a birthday party for a friend. He didn't seek attention for himself. He was just happy to be there. Go Karts, Laser Tag, and heights with harnesses. It was fun watching him up there. Some of the kids were swinging from their harness. He didn't. He practiced walking the ropes until he knew it was there, but he didn't need it. I kind of hope that's how this parenting gig goes with all our kids. They know we're always there, but they practice the skills they need to be "grown" until they just know we're there for them, and they're glad we're there, but they don't need us.
