Seven

Did you know that seven is my favorite number? It always has been. Two is my second favorite number.

Recently, my oldest kiddo turned seven. Seven! Each year he gets older and yet somehow I’m in disbelief over that fact every time. It means that I must be getting older too. Not fair!

As I wished him a happy birthday he said, “Mom, look at this!” With that he ran down the hallway and back out as fast as he could and proudly told me when he returned, “I can run faster today than yesterday when I was six!”

At breakfast that morning as he ate his cereal he stuck his scrawny 7 year old arm in the air and flexed his muscles exclaiming, “My muscles are bigger now that I’m seven!”

All I could do was nod my head and chuckle, thankful that his youthful exuberance hasn’t left him yet. If only he could hold onto it forever…

Happy birthday to your not-so-little guy! He sure knows how to take pleasure in graduating to a new number, doesn’t he! A lesson for us all. :biggrin:

What a kid! He and Emma would be buds, I think. The same optimism and exuberance. =)

My oldest turned 20 a few months ago and I am still reeling from it. I don’t remember too much about what I thought about or how I felt at 7, but I sure do about when I was 20 and it seems like yesterday. Seize the day! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Come again!

I can’t imagine 7, though I’m betting it will be here before I know it. Definitely a year to be stronger - how cute!
