Nine

Today is Harry's Birthday and since he's visiting his Gramma, Aunt and cousins, we are not celebrating together. For the first time in nine years. It feels very odd not to be making last minute trips to Target and the grocery store and calling friends who never said if they were actually coming to his party. It's very quiet. I've been thinking about all the things he's experienced so far, and all the things about him that are an honor to know.

He lives with three girls who all function pretty much on the high end of the dramatic/emotional scale.
He is two belts away from his Black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
He loves all animals, but especially dogs, even though he was attacked by a pit bull at age 4. He will sometimes ask me to pull over if he sees a cute pug or bulldog.
He is a great dancer.
He is an excellent cartoonist and loves to draw.
He calls my friend's dog, who is named Deena, Deena Fey.
He is on a first name basis with the ice cream man.
Homer is his favorite Simpson's character.
He can do a spot on impersonation of a Vietnamese nail-salon lady.
He always wakes up happy and ready to go.

Happy Birthday Harry!
