Welcome to Friday, January 13th, 2012 …..
Today is a special day as my youngest brother celebrates his 47th Birthday. So Happy Birthday Little Brother …… I hope that you have the greatest day.
Also this morning Mr. Alvin decided to change our morning routine up a bit. As I was getting my notebook and pen – Alvin was rummaging around in his toy box. His toy box is a small rubbermaid container which lays on it’s side so that he can get things out.
When I was ready to sit down at the table to start writing which is the point where I pick him up, and place him on my lap – he comes over with his snowball in his mouth, ready to play. So I figured what the hay …… so we played “fetch” for a few minutes. Very cute ….. playing is always on his terms. When he is ready to stop …. he stops. No loud parade …. he just walks away.
So two things today …… Happy Birthday to my brother. I so remember when he was born. I do not remember the day that he came home from the hospital, but I do remember him as a baby. Giving him his bottle and changing diapers, I was all of eight. He was my dolly, a real life doll. He was a pretty good baby and got lots of attention from his four siblings. He always followed his older sisters around, and although there was only one year between the three boys …. he spent most of his time with us. We played a lot of school and used our imaginations daily. So have a great day …… there in Calgary.
Special Hello: to all of those lucky people to be born on this day ….. Happy Birthday.
Always, Carol
