My Youngest is Turning Seven!

My youngest son will be turning seven on February 15th, and he’s so excited! He’ll be spending his birthday with his father, so we’re throwing him a very small party here Friday night . . . yes, I know it’s Friday the 13th, but we’re trying to overlook that in light of the impending celebration! ::smiles:: Because it’s so last minute and being held early in the evening, only a couple of people can attend.
He doesn’t care, though. He loves being with his immediate family, and he loves the idea of choosing his own cake flavor (vanilla). I make all the cakes for our family’s birthdays and love the ability to be creative. I’m not a master cake decorator by any means, but the family still loves how they turn out. (Thankfully!)
I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by. I never believed grown-up’s when I was little whenever they said childhood years are fleeting. I always thought they were exaggerating. One minute we’re all learning how to use finger paints, and now they’re binding their own books. How does that happen? One minute they’re trying to figure out how to write their names, and now they’re completing stories. It’s amazing.
