Happy Birthday, Tic Tac

My sweet little Tic Tac is six years old today. It doesn’t seem possible that it’s been six years since he made his official entrance into our family – two weeks early, and with his daddy away at a job interview in another state! D made it home to see our little M twelve hours after he was born, but my mom and dad made it into town in time to be in the delivery room to welcome him properly. What a wonderful day that was.

M is truly a middle child. He is the sweetest, most sharing and caring kid, and he’s a real peacemaker. The neat thing is, he was like that even before we had Boo! He follows hard on the heels of his big brother, J, wanting to do everything he does, and he just loves making his little sister, Boo, smile. God really blessed our family with this little boy.

On Saturday, we took a road trip and spent the afternoon in Savannah so Tic Tac (M) could go to the Mad Hatter shop he likes so much and pick out another crazy hat. This time it was a monkey hat with light-up eyes that makes a loud shrieking monkey sound. Then we went to The Pirates’ House for dinner – one of his favorite places! We had already had some of his Pirates of the Carribbean birthday cake at home, so the ice cream sundae, complete with sparkler that the waiter brought out for him was a neat treat, too. All in all, he had a piratically terrific day, and his brother and sister enjoyed it, too!
