I was feeling a little bit better this afternoon, so I told the folks that we should go to one of my favorite places: Tucanos.
The great thing about Tucanos is that you can sign up for their Birthday Club and get a free meal during the month of your birthday. What a deal! I love going there with my family because Tucanos has such good food and a really fun atmosphere for kids. I love going to the salad bar and getting all the yummy fruits I want.
The Biz really likes it too. She likes to eat grapes, cantaloupe, and mashed potatoes. Every once in a while she likes to eat beef and other meats too. My favorite dish is the Mango Codfish. YUMMY!
One way to start a really fun day is to eat a Softball Pancake with hot chocolate for breakfast at Denny's.
Then you go to the park and swing around with your little sister because you love her.
Then when everyone is hungry, you go to your friend, Chuck E. Cheese's, house to eat some food and play some games.
Then you come home, have some cake, and bust out the glow sticks and the black light for a dance party.
Then you cap off the night by thinking about how lucky you are to have a mom who loves you. So, Mom, this one's for you.
Dear Mom,
"All I know is You came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breathed new life in me--I owe my life to you
But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do...
It's dark; let me turn on the lights and brighten it and enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me--not the slightest clue
Cuz me and you were like a crew...
It was you who believed in me...
You risked your career for me; I know it as well as you...
You saved my life; now maybe it's my time to save yours
But I could never repay you; what you did for me was way more"
Mom, thanks for celebrating one of the biggest days of our lives with me and for thinking of a really good present for me since I'm so into Doc McStuffins. I hope I can learn the Healer's Art (not necessarily the profession) and help others to feel better just like you help me to feel good about myself each day.
Thanks for all your help over these years, Mom. I hope I can honor your sacrifice by becoming the son you know I can become. I know you will always love me, no matter what. Thank you for never giving up on me and for bringing me to life. Thanks for being my Doctor.
One reason we stay up so late is because our mom stayed up all night before she brought Big Bro into this world. That day wasn't as much fun as today has been, but thanks to Mom's willingness to sacrifice for us, we can enjoy a better life. We smile on this special day to show thanks for the many times we've made Mom grimace; somehow she has kept loving us with all her heart. Thanks, Mom!
It's here! It's finally here! It's my Birthdaypalooza!
Webster defines "Birthdaypalooza" as a "festive celebration of life, love, and the joy of families." It is a time of reflection upon the great blessing it is to be welcomed into a family who keeps you safe in hazardous circumstances which you cannot successfully navigate alone. Wikipedia says that the first Birthdaypalooza started several years ago when my parents met and decided they would try to make birthdays special occasions spanning multiple days. After all, the birth of a Child affects our lives far longer than the span of a single day--sometimes our lives are directly impacted even though we are separated by what seems to be an eternity.
For example, here's my sister.
She may just be a little baby right now, but she's already taught me a lot. She's taught about sharing, loving, protecting, and helping others. She's also taught me about being and having a friend. I don't know what I would do without her. Today she taught me about pushing her in a random swing (pictured above) which we found attached to a tree near an apartment complex we were scoping out for my Aunt.
After scoping the joint, we got to go to one of my favorite places, Brick Oven. Here's the footage if you don't believe me.
I ate a TON of Angel Hair pasta. I LOVE PASTA!
I love these guys too. Their my team. Win or lose, we're all in this together. Here's to living the rest of the life we have together to the fullest. YOLO!
