8704/21623My crazy, funny, (usually) incredibly sweet boy turned 9 today. He was incredibly excited to receive a plastic flintlock pistol, a viking shield, some fossils and a couple of solid gold (maybe) necklaces. I don't know if he will grow up to be an archaeologist, a pirate or a pimp (or the job that combines all three- a comedian), but it was lovely to see him so thrilled. It is rare as an adult that you squeal with joy when opening a present. That's a shame.
