B is a funny mix of emotionally sensitive, highly competitive, grateful, particular, obsessive, responsible, awkward, cool and laid back. There are plenty of things he gets worked up about and over-thinks: school spelling bees, new routines, and his hair. But there are a few things in life he doesn't mind--like the fact that I'm the worst birthday-celebrating mom out there and a terrible gift giver. Or that I pulled out a day-old pumpkin pie from Thanksgiving to stick some candles on. No matter what I do, he will say thank you and mean it from the bottom of his nine-year-old heart. B's a good kid. And if it weren't for those other three, Bruce and I might think we were perfect parents.

hahaha that's hilarious. B really is a good kid. And if anything, it's probably good that you don't keep his birthday expectations excessively high.

You're such a great mom, with such great kids to be proud of!
