Excitement

As anyone with children can attest, a birthday is a huge deal. My son's 6th birthday falls on Thursday this week. He has been asking about what we will do that day. I told him that he will go to daycare and his mom and I will go to our work. "What about after that?" he asked.

I told him we will go home and have supper. To say that he was not entirely enthused is like saying that Noah build a boat for scattered rain showers. I guess that we will have to do something special for him that day to celebrate for him. I love his enthusiasm for getting older.

Of course that will not last forever. I know that while I still like having the party and the cake for my birthday, the reminder that I am aging is not entirely welcome.
