wow. six came. six came with two new teeth and a whole new level of thoughtfulness and Polite. six made those dimples even more adorable and those jeans shorter.
six loves drawing more than five and I never thought that would happen. six decided putting one's head under water was really okay, and six wants to camp in the backyard. independent, this six. at least, more than five.
but six is still snuggly in the morning. and six still likes to rock sometimes. six cried because he did not want to get too big lest he no longer fit on his mama's lap. (six's mama cried, too, at that.)
six is kind and intuitive and sweet. six is fiercely protective of his sister. six is inventive. six is just right.

six is august. happy birthday, my first baby. we love you so much.
My boy... already six... the boy who loves the mowers and trimmers... the boy who asks, "How many days until you stay home, Daddy?"... the boy who loves his tools and helping his Daddy and Grandpas with any job they will task him with... the boy I love with all my heart!

A very happy belated birthday to your first.
My first is now 24!!!!!!!!!! So very hard to believe. Sometimes I can not believe I raised such a nice young man. I really thought he would give me gray hairs from those odd years of his.
blessings, jill

Belated happy birthday, August! So sorry we missed it somehow in the heat and shuffle of summer. Roxy, you are a natural writer.
