At nine, he’s Lego and Harry Potter and Indiana Jones and MJ moves.
He’s more generous and patient than I’ll ever be.
He’s never been cruel, not a second in his life.
He always holds the door open for people, touching the hearts of strangers wherever we go.
He’s not into sports, but will wear a Yankee’s shirt, for his dad.
He’s a great dancer.
He has his own fedorable style.
He had a birthday over the weekend.
I can still pick him up.
I can still pin him down for tickling.
He still thinks I’m pretty cool.
I begged him all year not to turn nine, but he didn’t listen.
For now, he’s promised to give me piggy backs when I can no longer lift him.
It’s something.
It’s what I’m clinging to.
Happy Birthday Seth!! Love, one of your many fans! xo
Happy Birthday Seth! Your cake looks awesome! And I can’t believe you got a gift that combined Legos and Harry Potter all at once!!!
Seth, in two more years, we’ll discover if you’re a bona fide wizard. Perhaps Harry Potter will be teaching that year at Hogwarts. What do you think his class will be? Surely, he’ll be out on the Quittitch field with you. And I’m wondering–just wondering–if that fedora is a disguised sorting hat.
But I suspect that your mom already knows that you are a true wizard who’s found your place in her heart and who makes each day one to remember because you have the spark of magic within you.
Happy! Happy! Happy! Ninth Birthday! With a candle to grow on!
Wishing your amazing, beautiful son a super birthday and a wonderful next year of life. xo
P.S. How is it that he’s NINE?!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH!!
Cake and candles in your honour coming up – seems like a good excuse to me! 🙂
I wish he and Lola could meet. A couple of free, loving souls who both happen to be 9. Lola is convinced that this is as old as she is getting. Next year she’s making a u-turn back to 8. I wish.
Squeeze that boy for all he’s worth. The photos let his soul shine right through!
One of my favorite few boys in the world… and if I met him, he might trump them all. Sorry I was late, but happy birthday, Seth! May nine be as good to you as you’ll be to it.
Happiest of birthdays to Seth!
I remain Seth’s #1 fan! He IS fedorable!
Happy Birthday to Seth. It sounds like not only is he a great kid, but you’re clearly a great mom too!
