5 years ago today, my life changed drastically. My son was born. My how time flies! I can't believe he turns five today. And he's so brilliant! I know what you're thinking: All mothers say that about their children. But it's true. He remembers everything and he learns so fast. It's hard to keep up with him.
So, there we were at Wal-Mart, buying stuff for his party on the cake aisle. I was looking at the candles, trying to decide if we should use the "5" digit candle or 5 individual candles. I asked him what he thought as I held up the box of candles versus the "5". You could see the gears grinding in his little mind as he thought about this important decision.
"How many candles are in the box?" he asked.
"10," I replied.
He thought some more and then said, "If I use the 10 candles, will I be 10 and not 5?" My husband and I looked at each other and laughed.
Wouldn't it be great if the number of candles on the cake actually meant we were that age? One year we'd be 29, then the next 29, and the next 29. Or we could subract years, too.
Another candle on the cake isn't that bad. At least it's only one at a time!

We have had many new friends over the past few weeks and I have been trying my hardest to connect with all of them. Next time you come by be sure to let me know who you are.

Kara,
Your son's comment about the candles is hilarious! God has blessed you guys to give you children that say things like that!
