It’s his birthday.
And he is now officially 11.
Evidently my prayers weren’t answered last night. Time, indeed, did not stop.
We’re not actually celebrating today. The party, the feasting, the presents… all that will happen Saturday, when we have the time to celebrate properly.
And, even though we’re not officially celebrating today, I wanted to capture him, albeit ridiculously quickly because he was late for school, on his actual day of birth.
Because that is something to celebrate.
I think it would be a really fun birthday surprise for him if you would take a moment to leave a comment and wish him a happy birthday today.
I know he would love to read each and every one.

Happy Birthday!
My daughter turns 9 tomorrow and we're celebrating on Saturday too! Hope we have great weather on both sides of the U.S.! The thought of 14 third grade girls all inside the house gives me cause for concern.

Happy, happy birthday, Asher! 11 is my very favorite number, and it's a pretty cool age to be, too. I hope you get to be king of the house on Saturday! … and get some cool presents, too. … and maybe get your chores done by your sisters and brothers. … and get some extra Wii time. … and other good stuff like that!
And maybe give your Mom 11 hugs and kisses, because that would just make her day, I bet!
All the best,
Nicole A. in OH
