11 days til my little boy's birthday. He'll be 5! It's hard to believe. I know all mom's probably think this, but it couldn't possibly be that long.
He's been such a good boy. He is polite, kind, and generally does what he is told. In fact, when the principal of his new school took us on a tour of the school on Monday, he commented on DT's good-boy nature. We were in the gym and everything was put away except for one sole wiffle ball in the middle of the floor. Of course, DT eyed it and gallopped over to pick it up. He held it up high over his head and said, "Look, a ball." I answered, "Yes, put it down." Without asking why, he gently placed in the same spot and walked back to us. The principal looked pleased and said, "I can see he's obedient." Wow. We either fooled him good or we have a very good boy.
Anyways, he's going to kindergarten! And he's turning 5!
He says all he wants for his birthday is a see-saw style gliding "horse" that hangs from his playground in the backyard. It takes 2 people to get it to glide. And he's our only little guy, so we've kept from shelling out the $80 saying "Who will he ride it with?" It doesn't matter to him. His mind is made up. All he wants is this "horse."
Our sweet Laundry Man built this heavy-duty playground last month with a little help from Uncle Kevin and Grandpa B. It turned out solid, and looking more grand than we expected. We joke that it looks like something that should be at a park. The utility posts make it look so BIG.
All it needs now is a horse!
