Monday, August 14, 2006 - Half-Birthday Boy!
Today
March 2002
Well, today is my son's "half" birthday. In our house that's a semi-big deal since Emily and I share the same real birthday; Edward shares his real birthday with Valentine's Day; and Stuart's actual birthday is the now infamous 9/11, or Patriot's Day. Half-birthdays give us something to celebrate halfway through the year.
We started the tradition when each of the kids was 6 months old to prepare them for their 1st birthday...to make it a little less overwhelming. (Well, that was the idea anyway.) It's evolved to having a fun meal and a cake with the number of candles plus a half...and a few inexpensive and fun gifties. Something silly to make an actual "unbirthday" day seem a little more special.
Isn't it fun to celebrate each other any day of the year?
Happy "Half" Birthday, Edward! 5 1/2 today!!
