This Boy

"Noodles wants to make sure nobody forgets about him!" So incredibly true. But this also made me realize there is another little boy who lives here, who scrambles to keep himself heard above his retching, wails and feeds.

He has his moments, but most of the time he's such a good boy. He loves legos, cars, police, firemen, dragons, knights and c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e. He has a huge soft spot for "words", Curious George rainboots and of course his life partners (Giraffe and Backup Giraffe). He's at a great age; he's old enough to be really excited about learning and life (he asked me the other day when he was 18 if I would let him drive my car! When I replied of course, he responded 'well then, I will have to get my own car), and yet not old enough to not be excited about these things (to which I responded 'well then, you'll just have to get a job'. Of course I want to give him the world:). Do you know what I mean?

No matter what or who he becomes, where he ends up, somehow in some way he is sure to put a smile on your face. That's just what he does for me. Happy birthday big guy! We love you.
