Though yesterday was officially Stephen's birthday, we've had a long weekend full of fun, and I don't think there's anyone else who can derive so much pleasure from a birthday.
We indulged in cinnamon buns with icing which he declared was "kazert for breakfast" and I spent a whopping $4.83 on a pint of Stephen-friendly chocolate ice cream. He even helped to bake his own birthday cake.
He's always had a hard time remembering just how old he is. When I asked him yesterday, he held up his fingers and counted, "One, two, three, four!" then asked, "And how old was I before I was older?" I replied, "Yesterday you were three, but today you are four." Stephen smiled sweetly and said, "I like that."
I think everyone needs a Stephen in their life. Sure he can be contrary and strong-willed, but he has a generous nature, a zest for finding the fun things in life, and can always make us laugh.
