all the rest have thirty-one

... except for February.

As of some time this morning I now have 31 (years).

My mom has some interesting thoughts about children (her own, and having them) on this occasion.

Happiest of birthdays!

It's going pretty well so far.

But I'm hoping it's not the happiest -- I have many more coming and I am sure some of them will be even better!

thanks!

Happy birthday, dear son. This is the last birthday, as I said on the phone, where I'm still more than twice your age! It certainly doesn't seem 31 years ago that I was in labor -- and then in the operating room for a cesarean. Not a fun way to have a baby, that's for sure. Children's birthdays have special meanings and memories for their mothers.

But you were a lovely little (no -- BIG) baby and we were and are so very happy we had you. I have loved being your mom. You and your brother have changed me, challenged me, made me grow and learn and stretch (literally and figuratively!!) in ways that I never would have thought were good -- but they were not only good but excellent. Thanks for being you!!!!!!

yay! thanks, mom.

I know all this, of course. But it's very nice to read.

Okay this exchange made me tear up a little.
So cute.
