Happy Birthday Eric

So Eric is 7. I almost can not believe it. My little guy is not so little any more. This year he lost 5 teeth, grew about 10 cm or more, and really developed more into his own person, with his own friends, and interests. He doesn't want to come to with me every time I go to rugby any more, and now on the weekends he lets me sleep and watches cartoons or plays games by himself. He is smart strong and tries to be fair with everyone. I am very proud of what a great young man he is turning into. Here is a shot of him cutting his birthday cake. I told him that I was bringing his birthday presents home when I came home from work, and then came in the house empty handed. Later after he cut the cake and we ate it, I sent him to draw the bath and snuck outside and got his presents. Here he is with one of the 2 or 3 sets of Legos that I got him. A big mid-evil castle complete with Orgs and gold smiths. I think he had a pretty excellent birthday. Definitely much better than last year.
