Extra Special Boy. Extra Special Day.

Happiest Birthday for my Macey.  In twenty nine minutes, he’s officially seven.  

I have to tell you, Mason is an amazing child.  As amazing as all my other amazing children, really :)  But he does have a special something of his own – ask anyone who knows him.  He speaks like a Shakespearean actor, and is equally as dramatic as one, falling to the floor wailing 421 times a day.  (If whining were a sport, he’d compete for Australia.)  

He is  THE most affectionate boy, demanding “HUG” every time we wander past and says he loves me “infinity times infitinty”.   He’s also very clever, lives on Weetbix and insists on wearing his shoes on opposite feet with shoelaces undone.

Last night, I found him fast asleep in front of the tv.  I lugged him up endless stairs, huffing and heaving and staggering the whole way.  As I broke my back gently laying him on his bed, the corners of his mouth turned up in a little grin and his eyes pop wide open.   Gobsmacked that I’d been conned, I told him he was 100% brat, and he just disolved into giggles.  As I left the room he says “I’m really very sorry Mummy, I just love to be carried”.    

He’s such a sod and honestly, I love him to bits.  Happy Birthday Meester Macey.

   You describe your son in such an amazing, real way. My 5 year old DD pretends to be asleep so she can be carried . . . just like I did when I was a girl. :)

   Sheye – do you just have little trinkets of magic lying around that you sprinkle into your words? :) The way you wrote about him just made me smile. He’s so happy because he’s so loved! And what a handsome little guy as is all of your bunch. Happy Birthday to that special boy…

    My Bella Ruth turned 4 years old today!! She is also my second child. I just love your description of Mason, it reminds me of my Bella Ruth. I wonder if it could be the Aquarius in them. They are known to be charismatic. Enjoy your special day with your little man.
    Love,
    Chesnye

    I am paying you the highest compliment Sheye when I say that I love your photos today, but your words are even more beautiful, more engaging, I love feeling like I’m getting to know your amazing children and their unique personalities. I just have the hugest grin on my face reading about his trick. Bless

    isn’t it great that you got to carry him his last day of being six… my SIL and I call each other to say sorry.. for them getting a little older, a little bigger, a little wiser…

    I snuggle my kids each night but when they are bigger and I am full of snuggling a toddler or baby I make sure I crawl in with them and snuggle them that last night of being that age… I breathe them in deep..

    Happy Belated birthday Mason. You are in good company with my Sam who turns 7 next week (and his tricks and dramatic behaviour are soooo much like yours. I think you would be good mates and fall into heaps of giggles together)
    I hope you had a great day with your special family

    Mason is absolutely divine. I taught him to say to me, “YOu rock Aunty Jennifer” and he milked it for all it was worth and I was like putty in his hands. He has that special something you cannot really name. He is going to be a heartbreaker that’s for sure. I can honestly say I laugh so much when I am with your boys. On their own they are funny, but together, they really do hold centre stage at a comedy festival. Much love to you Macey x

    Not only does this remind me of what I say to my mom, but also Ava taking you weeds b/c she thought they were beautiful. I did that as well. I cannot tell how captivated I am by your writing, your story, your photography. Your life. A friend of a friend, here in Memphis, TN, USA, shared the Seven Skirt Rule blog and I was immediately hooked. I have determined to read every single one of your blogs, beginning with your very first post. As of right now, I’m on page 4 (working my way backwards of course, so as to keep everything in chronological sequence). I just want you to know that your stories touch me deeply.
