For our immediate family, AnnaBeth starts the birthday season on September 8th and James ends it on January 14.
Yesterday was James birthday. He decided to take the $20 and go to Walmart. We’ll be doing that this weekend. For his birthday dinner, we had tacos. It was very, very yummy. For dessert, we had dark chocolate brownies with chocolate chips in them and ice cream. It is nice that with living up here, it is easy to find soy ice cream for my sweet boy who is allergic to milk. We didn’t have very much ice cream before we moved up here to Chicago-land because of the lack of an acceptable substitute for him.
Anyway, my son is now 11 years old. He’s having a fun time learning dancing. He has two classes that he’s having to take. The first one is jazz stage techniques. For the recital, they are doing a medley, and I don’t know what they are. The second one is Musical Theater dancing. For the recital, they are doing the Broadway version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins. I don’t know which one, but in one of them he will have to lift one of the girls. The only thing he is concerned about is not being strong enough and maybe dropping her. I think he’ll do fine.
So, that is that. My wonderful favorite son is now 11 years old. Wow… It’s amazing how fast time goes by.
