SuperBob is turning nine today. Nine. When did this happen? He has changed so much sinced I last saw him five months ago! He's reminding me a great deal of my son in his mannerisms, and his sense of humor is fully evident, by his silly mugging for the camera.

My daughter, in capturing a small video, has created a Mom-momster, and I've watched it now, I think, a hundred times! I'm calling it the three stages of Bob, and it begins like this:

He's standing in front of a three-tiered, silver dessert tray. It's stuffed with yummy, sprinkled, cupcakes, and at first Bob's arms are crossed; He's hugging his excitement in, as he sings Happy Birthday to, ahem,... ME!

The excitement within him continues building, and now he's barely containing it, so he starts dancing and swaying to help keep himself in control.

Finally, when he's about to burst, the Birthday Song comes to an end! Clapping HARD, Bob lets all that happy energy loose! And now, now comes his reward...
a sweet fluffy cupcake (Or two!) to devour!
