Mikey Turns 7!
Friday, August 21, 2015
Our little Mikey turned 7 years old today. Where has the time gone? My baby, 7? Shouldn't I be skinnier by now? I thought I would magically go back to those pre-baby days after my last baby. Ok, I wasn't that naive but I was sure hoping! ;)
Anyway....Mikey had a swim party with a bunch of his friends. It was short and sweet. The kids swam and slid for an hour and a half. Then we did presents, a pinata and cake and ice cream. I looked at all the kids there and was so grateful that Mikey has so many good friends! (We were missing a few of his favorites though, like Avery T).
I just love my little Mikey. He is my little buddy always. He loves to just hang out and help with whatever I'm doing. Or just talk. Or snuggle. He is such a mini Jeff in every way, except that he looks nothing like Jeff. Mikey is kind and thoughtful. He is always picking me flowers and telling me I'm beautiful. He is sensitive and compassionate. If he sees someone hurting or sad, it makes him sad. He's the kid who cries in the sad parts of movies and when you look over and see a little tear streaming down his cheek while he's sitting on the edge of his seat, you can't help but tear up yourself. He is funny and energetic. He is smart and charismatic. He loves to talk to people. When Kira has her friends over and they are all sitting in the hot tub, he'll go climb in and join in on the conversation. He is happy and content. I just love that little boy!
Here's a two cute little Mikey moments over the last few weeks:
*One morning we overslept and were scrambling to get the kids where they needed to be. I raced upstairs and all the kids were sleeping on the couch in the beach room. I said "Kate, Calvin, Isaac you need to get up! We have to leave in 5 minutes!!!" They scrambled up, stumbling over each other. Mikey turned to Kira and said "We don't have anything this morning. Let's just snuggle."
*Driving in the car the other day Mikey said, "Mom, can I talk to you? I just like to talk. What should we talk about?" (SO Jeff! I love it!)

Mikey got a snoopy backpack and lunchbox for his birthday. He was SO excited!
