6 Years

Today is my youngests birthday. He’s six today! He was my only “homebirth” baby, and born very quickly on a night when the Harvest Moon shown bright (actual “full” being a tad later than his actual birth, but I won’t squabble that since it was so VERY HUGE in 2000 that night and just the same the next rising.) I was in labor for sure only late in the night on Sept. 12th, and gave birth sometime around 1:57am -give or take — there was no one with a watch or clock available to note the time, the midwife hadn’t arrived yet. It was a great night, and all was well during and in the end.

My “A” is a small guy, he was my smallest baby, but not that small. Just smaller than my first two, which the eldest was 9lbs 1oz. He’s been the one who has stayed in “his age” for clothing, the other two were always way ahead of that sizing. He’s my sweety, just regular really, since I am comparing him to his siblings for size. He’s just regular. 🙂

He was really funny when opening his presents this afternoon. A couple or a few times he said, “What in the universe is THIS?” That sure made me chuckle.

We’re having his request for dinner tonight, steak. We weren’t going to do that, but in the end were able to fund it. So what happened earlier today when DH came home from the meat store with the steak and a few other things for the freezer this week? He was vacuum sealing “cubed steaks” to put into the freezer for another meal, and “A” said, “That’s what I said I wanted for my birthday dinner.”

What? Nah. You said “Steak” and you meant “Steak” and we are having “Steak.” He argued lightly a bit longer after that, but then said, “I only want rice with the steak.”

OK dude.

He is one that you must FORCE to eat any veggies lately. So on his birthday for his birthday dinner he can have “the night off” this year.

I have pictures from the days events that I’ll get onto FLICKR soon, and put some here as well. (not today, but in the next couple of days.)
