5 years and counting
One way to mark the passage of time is to look at your kid and wonder how they got so big when they were tiny little things, almost able to fit in the palm of your hand in the very beginning. Somewhere along the way, you swore and cursed, under your breath, or maybe over it during exasperating times and asked yourself what you had gotten yourself into by bringing a whole other human being into the world. Then you'd forget the cursing and the madness and just be in wonder and in awe of having created a whole other human being that you have to bring up in this maddening world. Children can amaze, frustrate and make you feel all gooey and giddy inside, all at the same time and they have this ability to do it at the most inopportune times at best. So, the only thing you can do is just love them and laugh with them and listen to their stories and everything will feel right in the world again. Happy Birthday Dylan, the best kid in the whole wide world!
