The boys and I made chocolate chip cookies this morning for my Nana's birthday (because WHAT do you really give a ninety-four-year-old for her birthday?) and we all had a good giggle over how many times Mom tried cracking this egg on the edge of the mixing bowl before realizing Daddy had collected the ceramic nest egg yesterday evening!
He cried yesterday when I excitedly told him it was his last night as a five-year-old. "I like being five -- I wish I could just stay this age forever. Will you take one last picture of me while I'm still five?" . He has always liked being little -- being near. He spent hundreds of hours strapped to me in the baby carrier, peaceful and secure among the whirlwind of toddler and preschool aged brothers. . Years later, his brothers may wander to the yard or down to the neighbors' house, but this boy often parks it at the kitchen counter, chatting to me about his Lego creations or asking if he can crack the eggs for me. . He is content to hang out with our animals or snuggle with me in the reading nook for hours, not thinking of what he might miss out on. I love this about him. I will never hold my kids back from growing and exploring, but I am grateful for the rare gift of a boy who sees everything he already has as enough, a boy whose undemanding presence reminds me of how sweet it is to just be -- together. . Happy Birthday, Miles. And yes, I will keep a picture of you in my heart where you can be five forever.
GoodNIGHT, February.
