Dear heavens! Has it really been six years since Jason was born? Lord. I find it hard to believe. And yet, a part of my heart hurts realizing that it is so. He is getting so tall -- just the other day, getting ready for baseball practice, he put on his bb pants. They were about 6 inches too short. When he put on the bigger pair, they were okay length-wise but much too wide around the waist. He just keeps shooting up and up. And his feet? It looks like he is going to have wide ones. He tried putting on a pair of runners yesterday and they were too tight.. he had worn that pair maybe once. He is growing. Of that there can be no doubt.
We had a small birthday party for him yesterday as his father has gone out of town this morning. John, Donna, Jeff Brewer and John Rose met us at the Applebees in Factoria for breakfast. We had a pirate ship cake and presents and Jason announced, as he was going to bed last night, that it was the best birthday that he has had so far. I told him that I was glad that was so and reminded him that in the morning, we needed to write 'thank you' notes to let everyone who came know that it was so also. He agreed and fell asleep. Poor fellow. He'd not slept the night before -- a combination of congestion from his cold and excitement about the upcoming party. The good news is, he seems to be sleeping well now.
And so... today. Tom left at 5 for the airport. I hope he has a safe and successful trip. I have told the boys that we will have a 'sleep out' in the livingroom tonight -- I will put up the air mattress and make popcorn and they can watch the Scooby Doo mysteries that we borrowed from the library. I hesitate to let them watch a lot of any video but the combination of it being Jason's birthday and their father being out of town, inclines me to make an exception. We will see how it goes. As for the day? It depends on how people feel when they wake. Here is hoping!
