Birthdays are a hot topic around her these days. We will celebrate 4 kids birthdays in the next 7 weeks. In order to keep me from being too stressed about this and to give birthdays a little perspective we allow our kids to have a party every other year. Mason will be turning 4 and hasn't had a non family party yet.
So tonight we talked a little about it....

Mom- Have you thought about what you want to do for your birthday?
Mason- Yeah, I want to play sports. Like kickball and dodge ball and soccer.
Mom- Who do you want to invite?
Mason- My girlfriend and Wyatt's girlfriend
Mom-Who is your girlfriend? I didn't know you had one.
Mason- Hayley
Mom- Oh, does she go to our church? nods yes. Is she in your class? nods yes
           What does she look like?
Mason- A dinosaur
Mom- Oh, what kind?
Mason- A T-Rex.

This was a serious straightforward talk, he never once cracked a smile. But I did.
