Seven

We spent Dylan’s 7th birthday at Kokomo Joe’s after his basketball game on Saturday and then jumped at Skyzone that evening.  His best friend Rashad came with us and spent the night that evening.  At this age, Dylan is still a little comedian, always trying to make us smile.  He is learning so much.  Just last week he wrote two sentences completely on his own.  He started with a capital letter, ended with a period, and even spelled a really hard word perfectly.  I got excited for him and told him how proud I was of him.  He climbed into my lap as I hugged him tightly.  He rested his head on me, and the hug lingered a moment.  Then Dylan says to me, “We’re sort of having a romantic moment here.”  He pulled away from me and raised his eyebrows at me twice!  Thank you, Dylan, for always making me smile, for bringing so much joy to our family, and for just being you.  We love you!
