Today was Harris' fourth Birthday! It was quite eventful. We had his "circle of life" ceremony at St. Andrew's where they celebrated all four years of his life and related it to the earth revolving around the sun. It was a sweet little time and the children each took turns saying something nice about Harris. Many of them said, "Happy Birthday, Harris!", or "I love you, Harris.", and a few of them said that they wanted Harris to come to their house or to their birthday. Harris was very quiet and didn't seem to know what to think of it all. It was the first ceremony of the school year. After a few songs about birthdays, life, and friendship we went outside and shared a cookie cake with all of his friends.
It was really touching to think about how much he has grown in the past year. In some ways it seems that September 16, 2005 was a lifetime ago, especially when I think about how different my life was then. But in other ways, it seems like it's all just racing by so fast that I am scared I am missing it. It's nice to have times like these to slow down and take it all in...
