The kids were having snack.
I walked by to see Gabe making some kind of creation. I heard him singing to himself, and the closer I got I heard:
“happy birf-day to Gabie, haapy birf-day to GABIE”
The kids and I all joined in the singing….which seemed to shock him a bit.
But then he got really excited, like it really was his birthday.
Then he so adorably proceeded to blow out his “cracker candles” on his watermelon cake.
And continued to decorate away….
It’s these little simple things in life that I adore the most. They remind me of how beautiful each and every day should be. And with all that I have going on, this is what I needed to be reminded of today.
