“Baby you know the other day we had your party and you turned 5
and you got all those presents…” mmm Yes Mom – “Well… there was a mistake on
some of your paperwork and you are still only 4 baby – your real bday is only
in October not January” Why Mom? “Because people make mistakes baby and this
time it is a good mistake because that means that you get TWO birthdays in one
year this year – two birthdays and two parties and maybe even another present”
WOOWWW Mom that’s so cool!
I felt like an absolute fraud leading him to believe that such a
mistake could ever be cool but what choice did I have? How completely un-cool
for this to happen – how can a mistake of such magnitude be made and only
discovered years later. His birth certificate indicated that he was born on
06/01 when in fact it is on 06/10. I found this on his Road to Health card and
will need to get his birth certificate corrected.
The bible says “For you created my inmost being, you knit me
together in my mother’s womb” Psalm 139.13 - so I have to believe that He
ordained the days that these children where born. We will celebrate that day
and do what it takes to correct this mistake!
I sat at dinner that night and I asked Tom to tell his Dad how old
he was. He looked down and said “I am STILL 4!” in the cutest, most irritated
voice and we all laughed! It is
good to have a sense of humor about these things otherwise life would be very dull
and very sad most of the time!
Good on you little Tom – you and Max are my Heros!
