Growing

Eddie had a wonderful fourth birthday. We were at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Eddie got just a few presents, which he really liked, and he played with them all day with his six-year-old cousin who came over. This kind of celebration was just his speed. There was cake with candles to blow out, too!

The morning after, Eddie was up early with just me and Vincent. We discussed his birthday, and Eddie wasn't sure if the age change had stuck. "How old am I?" he asked. I asked him back, but he was unsure and wanted me to say it. "You're 4!" I told him.

Eddie stood up tall. Then he insisted I stand up as well. He looked up at me, then asked when he would be big like me!

The cutie thought he might have grown big like papa. I told him that at the rate he's going, he'll probably be my size when he's 13.
