I can't believe it: James is 6 years old! Our BIG boy. He has come so far and works so hard, but he's still a little toddler. We are so lucky to get the kisses and hugs and love, but at the same time we want more!! We want the brat, the sass, the independence. Mom and Dad met the day with a bit of melancholy mixed in with the the joy and pride. Regardless of an occasionally teary parent, James had a great day. I am not sure he understood exactly, but he did know he was getting extra attention. At his morning OT session, they sang Happy Birthday and when another little boy hugged him - James let him! James doesn't mind adults touching him and he enjoys watching other children but letting himself be hugged? WOW-wee. The boys played together for the rest of the session (meaning they were jointly guided through activities by their therapists). Just an amazing start for the day. School went well too! I brought in donuts for the kids and James actually ate (he eats inconsistently at school). After Daddy came home, we opened presents. James only cared about all the balls he got from us and his Aunt & Uncle. How normal is that? "Ick! Clothes!" He acted the same way with his Grandparent's presents over the weekend. Our "cake" was a glazed donut with candles. It was a hit and James ran around in a major sugar rush daze before passing out cold at 9:15. Next stop: CHIRSTMAS!!
