today is my birthday. I am 5.

September 6, 2011 by Nancy

5th birthday.jpg

Favourite little guy walks in to my class this morning, chest puffed out, little squishy nose in the air, all  3 feet  of him and says “Today is my birthday. I am 5.”


I could not believe it. He was born on the exact day I separated. September 6, 2006.
I gave him a big hug. I ADORE this little superhero. Even moreso now.

The art class made him a card. At the end of the class I brought out some cupcakes that I just happened to have on hand.

“CUPCAKES? No way! Are we going to get cupcakes every time someone has a birthday in art class?” He shouted.
  ‘No, I whispered,  this is special.’
 I winked at him. ” Today, I am 5 too.”
