I'll try and remind my heart .... Mother

Harry's had this game he liked to play for a while, and now he's added a new twist based on Dean's 'fake name' deal of calling him Harold and Jack, Jake.



He's what he says, and what he likes me to say:



Mama - ReRe (Jack's name for him when J was first starting to talk)

Mom - Har

Mommy - Harry

now....Mother - Harold



I do it because I love him. And he's five today, so I indulge ;-)



The restaurant we enjoyed the other nite has all sorts of iconic images, including this one of James Dean. They are familiar with his pix from other places we visit, so I didn't think much of it when Harry commented on this one we hadn't seen:



And this is what he did the next morning:

It's a new world, technology-wise, but flirty boys will always know how to use their eyes, right?

Thank you, sweet boy, for five years of snuggles, and whining, and laughing that fantastic laugh, and running, and winking, and signing ILY, and making me cherish life all the more. As you said yesterday, 'it's a challenge!', and I wouldn't have you any other way. Enjoy the 5's!

This will post at 1:44 pm today, five years to the minute of incomparable joy for me and your FATHER!
