RB EB Happenings

Another year…. Every year, I sit at my computer and take the time to reflect on the last year of your life, and of our life, together.   I do this, because I don’t want to forget the details and the milestones.   I don’t want to forget your voice, your laugh, your smell, your hugs and kisses, and who you are now.   Someday, I’d like you to understand the details, or have insight into my mind and what exactly, you, have meant to me, your mother. Eight.   I’m not quite sure how we even landed here so fast.   In 10 years, you will be an adult.   You are ½ way to driving.   I’m continuously floored with these facts.   I try not to count, but I just can’t help myself at times. We have now been in Colorado for ½ of your life.   This has become your home, your comfort, what you know.   It’s where your family resides, and your Nanny & Grandad reside and spoil you.   You love your home, family, puppy Leeloo, your scho...

February 7, 2017 Fall 2016 How can it be.   The eve of you turning 7.   ½ way to 14 (ick).   I marvel at how fast this last year has again, flown by.   We just finished our nightly ritual.   Homework, dinner, special treat, ipad time, bath (or shower sometimes now – but you still love your relaxing baths), then we say our goodnights and settle down to read before bed.   But tonight was different.   Tonight, you read to me.   You not only read to me, but you read like a pro. Big words not causing you any pause, and your enjoyment of the fun rhymes flowing off your tongue like you’ve been reading all your life (hardly).   I listened, and thought about the fact it was the last time you would read to me as a six year old. I am simply blown away by the little things, that are truly the big things.   The fact that phonics is nothing for you to process.   This comes naturally I suspect (pay off from reading to you since birth)...

February 8, 2016 Today, is your 6 th birthday.   Although, technically you won’t really be 6 for another hour and a half…you were born late.   I am amazed that so much time has passed us by, so quickly.   My once “baby”, then “toddler”, is now all boy.   You are such a sweet and fun boy, and truly my whole heart.   I’m not sure there is anything I am more proud of in my life.   I am most baffled, still, about so many things at this age….to name a few…. ·       How did you ever get to be so handsome?   Some days I look at you and wonder, how did we ever get so lucky…and boy are we in trouble with you in a few years.   We  have to teach you how not to break every girls heart. ·       Will your hair always be the same style because of that enormous (and cute) cow lick?   I caught you in the bathroom last week trying to comb it down with gel.   I tried to explain that it w...
