Today This Guy is Nine

Bob on his second birthday

I know. Everyone says, "It goes so fast," but really. Our boy is nine years-old today. This doesn't make sense because he was only two years-old a minute ago. Seriously, just one minute. 

We will celebrate. There will be pizza and soccer and a cake with gum balls on it. 

There will be a few tears from me because time is tricky. 

And it will be a happy birthday. 

Grad

"Dad? For pre-k graduation we're going to do a Hawaiian dance with real Hawaiian outfits and Miss Nancy made us special hats and there are gonna be snacks for everybody. Then I will be ready for kindergarten, like a man."

Hours Away

"Mom! One more sleep and I'll be five and twelve twelfths. You know what that means?"

"I do."

"Cake!"

Salutations

"Rosenberg residence. Hello? Who is calling who is calling who is calling who is calling who is calling hello who is calling who is calling who is calling who is calling who is calling - - -?!"

"Bob! Bob! Stop! It's me, Mama!"

"Why didn't you tell me that?"

"We're going to need to work on this."

Under the Big Top

Today we went to the circus. We saw Cirque du Soleil's "Ovo" under the big top on Santa Monica Beach. It was spectacular. The acrobats, jugglers, clowns, trapeze artists, and high-wire performers were world class. Bob was spellbound. When it was over he gave his review:
"That was awesome. You know I don't even think I could do some of those things!"
