-hi mom, is boo there?
pause.
-hi courtney!!!!
-hey baby, happy birthday!
-thanks alot!!!!
-what are you looking forward to most about today?
-dinner from california pizza kitchen!
-i bet! how many gifts do you have on the table? 7?
-i think there are 9!
-really? 9? wow. you are lucky!
-i know. can you give me a hint of what you got me?
-lets just say i know you are going to like it. (little sister has no idea what she got him since older brother did the shopping for her! thanks a million!)
-i bet i am! thanks, courtney!
-hey, i have to run but i love you so much and am so sorry that i cant be there to celebrate with you. know that i am thinking about you all day, ok?
-ok. thanks for calling!
-i love you, baby.
-i love you too, courtney!
to ditto big sister, baby brother is possibly the best 12 year old i know. he just loves life. and he makes me love life. so much in fact, that when i get off the phone with him, i am smiling as i catch his enthusiasm and run with it.
and then i call big sister and tell her the entire phone conversation so she can laugh with me.
needless to say, we love him dearly. he is our ray of sunshine on cloudy (or just sometimes sad) days.
i love you so much, boo. and i cant wait until thanksgiving when i get to see you again.
sending you tons of california sunshine...
