8-year-old JUBILATION

The Little Miss all dolled up and ready for the
My Guy and Me Dance!
accompanied by her handsome date, Daddy!
They got their dancing legs warmed up…
And then hit the town!
(Err…or more like dance floor…at the church…with 150 of their “nearest and dearest” Girl Scout friends…and fueled by oodles of cups of pink punch and plates of sweet treats that propelled their jiving fervor!)
It’s good to be eight!
If you know us, you know we LOVE to celebrate birthdays. The Little Sir kicks off the year with his big day on February 18.
It’s pretty great to be FIVE!
Every 5 year old needs his own (Daddy-made) wheelbarrow…no?!
And birthday pastries, presents, and PIZZAZZ!
(Pizzazz is such a great word, don’t you think? Four Zs, by golly! That’s cool!)
with Grammie and Poppy!
with Nena and Pops!
With every Tom, Dick and Harry in the Triangle region…or just about.
(Suffice to say that for Mommy and Daddy, this outing was a labor of love.)
He’s such a cool (5-year-old) Little Dude.
We all love him so much!

If you ever wondered, this is what the Little Sir has to deal with. Every.Single.Day.
The crazy is real, people. The crazy is real.

**********
Joyful as a dolphin
Imagination sailing on the high seas
With dreams as big as mountains
And wonders stretching high like the trees!
Thoughtful as an owl
Perched upon his tree
Wisely pondering the world around
Unruffled as can be
Silly as a monkey
Swinging through trees of jokes
Armed with wit and an impish grin
He’s a joy to his laugh-loving folks
Lovable as a pup
A tumble-jumble of hugs and kisses
Sugary sweet, both inside and out
With many a bone that the doctor fixes
Shy as a turtle
Peeping cautiously from his shell
He moseys along, resilient and strong
A gentle spirit averse to pell-mell
Smart as a piglet
Gobbling up books, legos and stories
On the hunt with his “what?,” “why?” and how?”
A scientist in his life laboratory
Adventurous as an eagle
With his crew he is fierce, wild and brave
Bad guys attacking his castle?
“Get back, ye villainous knaves!”
Stubborn as an elephant
Choosing his steps (and ride) (and bed) with nerve
Arched brow declares he’ll win the day
Strong will says he won’t swerve
Indignant as a blowfish
He ain’t gonna take no guff
With deep lungs he commands the room
But with a tickle, he’s back to our cream puff
Tender as a lamb
Cuddled into mommy’s side
Desiring quiet talk and nuzzles
As the moon kisses the night sky
Growing like a caterpillar
Hungry to see, try and explore
His Mama just wants to hold him close
While new wings beckon to big boy shores
We love you, sweet, smart, shy, joyful, WONDERFUL
Little Sir.
