My "little bear" is growing up way too fast. Even he is taken aback when I tell him I'm not sure how much longer he will be my little bear, so I quickly rescind that notion and say he'll be my little bear forever.
He had an action-packed day: up at 6AM (par for the course), presents, dashing off to pick up paint for the addition, a visit to the music store for his gift of drumsticks and registration for drum lessons, a trip downtown to the Maryland Science Center and lunch with Dad, the farmer's market, Marmee's house, dinner and facepainting at Chick-Fil-A (his choice), and finally back home way too late. I asked him at lunchtime if he was having a good day, and he shook his head and smiled. "A great day?" I posed. Another shake and smile. "An amazing day?" I said. "No Dad," he replied. "I'm having an awesome day!"
His sports party at the YMCA this weekend was fun: soccer and hockey with Coach Chris and a gaggle of kids, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake and facepainting by Ali and Ashley. Lots of art gifts, and I got him a black Ed Reed jersey so he can represent this fall. It's the last year of counting your age on one hand, Pictures, of course, to come eventually.
