Yes, this is the time of year when I have a lot of birthdays. Our Eric has a birthday today!
If I were to choose one word to describe Eric, it would be content. He's always been okay to just experience whatever stage of life in which he finds himself.
He's rarely frantic about anything (very unlike his mother. I am capable of flapping a lot.), and is almost unfailingly kind. The older I get, the more I understand how important kindness is. I'm trying to be more like Eric in that regard.
Like some of my other boys, he also has the ability to find humor in situations. This is what happens when you tell a teenage Eric it's time to clean his bathroom.
Or when he finds statuary at the zoo.
I love this boy more than I can express, as I love all my children. No matter what age he gets to be, he's still my boy. Happy birthday to my Eric!!
You old fart!
