Our sweet little Adam is just getting too old! Eight years old today.
Long legs, perminant teeth, striving for indepedence (at least the right to not cut or comb his hair, and to wear shorts no matter what the weather), . . .
Where did my squishy little baby go?
Well, luckily he is still cuddly, sweet, and charming as ever. He is also artistic, loves costumes (last year he wanted to be a cowboy for his birthday and this year it is a Roman Soldier), and is able to appreciate beauty. He gets angry and will scowl at me, but that is easily turned into a smile and a hug of repentence.
Adam is funny and loves funny things. He has always laughed at movies in a way that makes it so enjoyable to watch with him. For a few years it was Winnie The Pooh Search for Christopher Robin--he would giggle at all the simple sillies. He loves The Ghost and Mr. Chicken--his laughter as Don Knots tries to karate chop the tree is worth the rewind over and over. The kids just recently watched The Court Jester. Adam laughed almost to the point of tears at the final sword fight scene--everyone laughs, but he just cracks up. I love the sound of his contageous laugh.
Adam is such an important part of our little family! We are so grateful to have him with us. We love you, our sweet little Adam Von!!
*this year he asked for a shield cake with 2 swords crossing behind it. He decorated the shield himself:
