It wasn't long ago when he was just a 9.2 lbs newborn last 2003. Seeing him walk, even bringing him to school for the first time are still fresh to me. I even remember how he stunned the audience during his first dance performance in preschool. Now, he is short of a foot my height and wears pants for the first time as his school uniform. Signs that he's no longer a "baby" are so evident that it pinches my heart a bit.
Last September 10, my eldest son celebrated his 9th birthday. I took a leave from the office to ensure my full attention on him on that special day. For his birthday I thought of doing the following:
Decorate the house- Since he was 4, he gets excited seeing our place dressed up for his birthday. I use buntings, crepe paper and birthday banners.
What really happened: The night before his big day, I spent an hour decorating the dining and living area. The morning he saw it, he SMILED, but he wasn't as WOWed by it anymore.
