For about half of his short life, Si Guy has been obsessed with monkeys. He loves watching them at the zoo. He loves climbing like one and eating bananas. He loves both his giant stuffed monkeys. He loves his Curious George library. Maybe, it's because like most monkeys, he's very playful and very curious.
This year, the mommy timer broke. With so much going on with the end of school, end of AWANA, getting ready for VBS...little Si guy's birthday slipped my mind until about Thursday, even with the daily reminders since his friend J's birthday party the Saturday before. So Friday, while big bro was at his dress rehearsal for his ballet recital, momma hit Big Lots looking for a present. The best I could do was a HUGE spider-man playground ball, with the spiderman saying on it. *about great ability and great responsibility*. He fished his present out of our closet Saturday morning and couldn't have been happier. I love young kids.
Later that morning, while he out planting tomatoes with Daddy, I was buying birthday donuts for breakfast and ordering a cake to have on Sunday when grandma came over. I also brought home a small cake so he could have some "on the day." He was excited about that too!
Needless to say, he was dumbfounded when grandma came over today with a present, "BUT my birthday was yesterday. Really? More?" and he had a Curious George cake to boot!
That kinda sums up Si pretty well. He takes every blessing, as just that, an unexpected piece of joy.
