Birthday Truck

It was the little guy's birthday this week and we had lots of fun celebrating.  He put some gumballs in this truck and calls it his "Birthday Truck".  He has been rolling it around for days now.  I realized that it would have made a great centerpiece for a boys party.  Trucks all lined up with goodies in them.

I always get so reflective around my kid's birthdays.  Much more then when I have one.  Somehow their getting older hits me on a much deeper level.  I invariably ask "How did he/she get so big?"  I think it must be that I remember them from the time they were just an idea.  I remember the day they were born and every day since.  What a privilege to watch them grow up.  It hits me on their birthdays.  Every year they have a party and the best gift of all is for me.

That so would have made a great centerpiece. Hindsight! I do okay with my kids' birthdays. It's the thinking about them leaving home for college that kills me.
