8…So Great!

I have this boy.

You can see some of his remarkable cuteness here and the story of how he joined us here.

He’s 8 today.

He’s pretty spectacular.

He keeps changing on me, and in the past few months, I’m beginning to see glimpses of the man he is going to be.

He’s full of love and emotion.

He cares deeply about others and stands up when someone is wronged.

He loves rules and order and structure, but is just as silly as the rest of the monkeys when the mood strikes him.

He’s a sweetheart and a good boy and he just keeps growing.

I’m so proud of this guy and the person he is becoming.

We’ve had a bit of a rough go of it, he and I, but we’ve always find our way back to each other and now we’re better than ever.

We’re a team, he and I.

I love this kid.

More than he could ever possibly know.

Chuck E. Cheese

So, Baby Monkey decided that this years party would be at Chuck E. Cheese.

Or, Chuck E. Sneeze, as a friend of mine so aptly put it.

So, we went, armed with antibacterial Wet Ones, a cake from home (or the store), and a few friends.

And he loved it.

And so did his brother.

There was climbing

Deep breaths for blowing out candles (on the Entenmann’s cake…so sue me)

A successful visit to the Ticket Blaster machine

And a good time was had by all.

Well, almost all.
