Somebody is Six Today!

Once upon a time, about five years and eight and a half months ago, a little boy lay still in his mommy’s womb. Hey lay so still that his mommy had to visit the labor & delivery department of the hospital to get monitored because she didn’t always feel that “movement each daylight hour” during the last few weeks of the last trimester.

When he was ready and he wanted to come and tried to tell mom who insisted during church service “no, they can’t be contractions even if they are five minutes apart because I can sing through them.” So the contractions stopped but he came the next day while his auntie and uncle, who didn’t get to meet him, were on a plane to Manila.

Mom and dad and big brother thought he was really cute.

Mom had this thing about his whispy hair.

He got bigger. He played on the swing set with his brother.

He got bigger and bigger. “Mommy, I want to help you make cookies!”

He got bigger and bigger and bigger. “Will you read this for me mommy?”

He got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. “Mommy, I want to go to Target!”

He got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. “Mommy, I want to do school, too!”

He got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and BIGGER! And now he’s six.

He wants to learn to tie his shoes. He will be a scientist and a FIFA soccer player and play tennis. He can count by twos, fives and tens and knows what “th” and “sh” and “wh” say.

But he will always want to lick the bowl clean for mommy.
