Today is my son's birthday! He is pictured on the right side of this blog, as a groom and as a MA State Trooper.He was my first baby and led us into the sometimes confusing world of parenthood.
Because of him, I went back to the town park and swung on their swings again, bringing back memories.
I became aware of the Sesame Street characters because of our new son.
He changed our names and the names of my parents, while quietly shifting us into new roles in life.
He had those big blue eyes which made people stop me and admire him while we were out shopping in stores.
He learned phonics at around 3 and was able to read newspapers and grown-up books at 4 1/2. He spent lots of time reading to his little sister and he also sat and read to kids in the neighborhood at about 5 or 6, when some of them were several years older than he was.
He always played with cars and trucks and he is still a "car" person; and in his work day, he drives an unmarked cruiser.
We are proud of his every accomplishment and we want to wish him a great day today.
I'm not giving away his age....but when he was born, I sat with him in my arms every afternoon and watched the Watergate hearings on TV. You'll have to figure that one out for yourselves.
