Yesterday afternoon James was a very happy boy. He is usually happy, but yesterday he seemed to be glowing with unusual levels of joy and excitement. He bounced on all the couch cushions and made a little obstacle course in the living room. I was busy planning in my planner-- which I really enjoy doing. Peter was playing Minecraft-- since he was home sick.
James was thinking about his birthday, which is May 2nd, and seems a century away, especially when you are five and it is so snowy outside, and you know your birthday is in the springtime. But he was getting excited about it. He wants another Skylanders game for his birthday. It's called Imaginations, and apparently you can create your own characters. He has come up with one, which I later helped him draw, called Fire Tiger. It looks like a lion/tiger with a bow and arrow. They are fire arrows and he looks really cool and James can't wait to get that for his birthday.
"And you want a baby girl for your birthday, right Mom?" He asks suddenly in the midst of all his Skylander talk.
"Ummmm...yes, that would be nice, but I already have the best boys in the whole universe, so I'm really happy now."
"And you have the rarest kind of boy too--Because I have red hair. We are, like, the rarest hair color ever!"
And then he has me ask Siri what the rarest hair color is, and sure enough it is red, and he is excited to hear that again, and we talk about how amazing it is that his hair is red and so bright, and I would agree with James and Siri that I have the rarest, most wonderful boys ever.
I am, among women, most richly blessed.
