Six


From the very break of day,
Before the children rise and play,
Before the greenness turns to gold,
Tomorrow I'll be six years old. . . 

~ Gateways :: Wynstones :: Traditional 


Our dear boy had a lovely birthday yesterday.  The weather was mild and cloudy, just perfect for enjoying the front porch.  He got a little crossbow, a harmonica, and a trip to the library for his very own library card!  We did our birthday circle inspired by the Wynstones books, including his rainbow bridge story.  Roan wanted to make sure that all the traditions were in place for his big day. 


Willow got a garden girl, to go along with his Pelle, because it was her half-birthday.  Who could pass up such a sweet little chicken in a basket?  We celebrated with Becky and a big clap of thunder.  Truly, I don't think I've ever heard one so near and so LOUD!  Well, that is how he came into this world, anyhow, just ahead of a string of big storms and a tornado.

  2. Ah looks like you had a lovely birthday celebration and some drama too with the thunder. We had some a while back that was just overhead - frightening! Yes its so true - children thrive on knowing the little traditions we have in place through the year, especially on their birthdays - mine certainly expect a certain 'set up' for their birthdays each time! - the rhythm and predictablilty is so nourishing for them. Those dolls look very sweet. :-)

    1. It is amazing what children remember and what is special to them. I forget so much! ;-)
