I still think he’s just as handsome as he ever was.
Still, even with this little bit of insecurity, there is no question about his ability to care and love his sons. He’s so attentive to both of them. He often hears them before I do and wakes up immediately and goes to them to feed them or change them.
I also had my adult birthday, though really, this one snuck up on me. It hasn’t been as difficult for me, I think, because I don’t have a lot of the same fears. Or maybe because my own life has been such an upheaval, this seems rather small. I did decide to do something a little different with my hair, deciding to let some of it grow a bit longer.
Gabe and Gage have both left their puppy stages and have become beautiful, full grown dogs. They are both wonderful mixes of their parents.
Time surely does fly. The boys shared a birthday; first, my little boy would leave toddlerhood and become a child. I just can’t quite believe it! A part of me, the part that has become so very attached to this life, is terrified and doesn’t want to let go. Another part, the part that has survived from what seems another life entirely, knows that this is only a small time frame, and a part of life. I’ve managed to meet somewhere in the middle, but because I was afraid I might not let him go, David took Draco to the cake first. He spun around as the sparkles hit…
My boy is a child now. He only grows more handsome. His hair is longer than I thought it would be, but it suits him.
Then it was Falkor’s turn. I carried him to the cake this time, a bit more composed. Once again, sparkles descended over one of my children and life moved on.
Falkor has certainly took more after me! He has my skin color, my hair color… David calls him my mini-me!
And already, Falkor kicks up a fuss when his father went to take him to his crib. Oh my, another one with a very hard to resist pouty face!
Even between raising our two boys, we’ve managed to continue to pull in steady incomes regardless of neither of us having actual ‘jobs’. Diego, Darcy, and now Gabe and Gage have been instrumental in this. The gems and metals they hunt up have allowed us to not only survive, but to thrive. We’ve been able to renovate our home into something more than comfortable. We’ve even added a second floor and turned it into our master bedroom, as well as added a second room for Falkor and added space for all of the dogs so they are more comfortable.
Draco is a very studious child and has already begun a love of reading. But he also has quite the imagination!
His first day of school arrived and he ran out the door, very enthusiastic to begin learning, though he did get a head start on his own. Truly, the boy devours knowledge like his brother drinks his bottle of milk! When he arrived home, he was gushing about all the things the teachers were beginning to teach him as well as talking about a few new friends he had gotten to meet. Then he sat down to begin his school work.
While Draco learns of the SimVerse at school, his younger brother is learning how to walk, talk, and use the potty like a big boy!
