FLASHBACK FRIDAY: pleased birthday TO JULIAN

Julian, the rookie baby who inspired this site, turned 6 years old on Friday.

At 6 months, he allowed me to take his photo like this.

He had much more input on the shot this year

I prepared a survey for Julian to fill out to mark this point in time, the first birthday on which he was capable of independently reading and writing reactions to a questionnaire, and it included the question, “What do you love about yourself?”

For many of us, this would stop us in our tracks, right? Gânduri profunde. Îndoială de sine. Questioning. For Julian, it was so simple.

I could drone on and on about how special I think this child is, but I won’t bore you.

Trust me, he is the smartest, many gifted, and amazingly affectionate young boy on the planet. and it’s not just my opinion; his father completely agrees.

A bit delayed, October in review, minus the Halloween-related posts. (But wait, first read my newest post on BabyCenter.com, would you send your kids to Camp Grandma?)
