Austin's Birthday
Boys will be boys. It's in the blood and the hormones.
Austin turned 3 today and since we are still under constant supervision we had a small family party at home.
It was a Superman, Spiderman, Elephant, Monkey, Frog, Kangyroo Themed party.
Austin had a hard time deciding and we just didn't have the heart or energy to argue so we did a little of everything. It was a blast.
We had a house full of boys and only 2 girls. One of whom was little sister Rachel. Needless to say there was a great deal of screaming, running, wrestling and all the rest of the stuff that boys do when they play. And you had better believe that little Sebastian, a.k.a. Tough Guy, was right in the middle of all the fun. He had a blast. Austin had a blast. The other kids had a blast and I think that everyone got their kids to bed early that night even with the high sugar content of the cake and/or cupcakes.
To see Sebastian play with the other kids was beyond words. It just made my heart sing. I knew then that he would be ok. Whatever challenges he has ahead of him are nothing he can't handle. Nothing WE can't handle. He is so full of life and joy and laughter.
Everyday I wonder how it is that we are blessed with such beautiful children. They are both beautiful inside and out. And that seems to be the salve that is healing our broken hearts. Because that's what it's felt like these past months. A raw, open wound that never gets a chance to heal. But that's going away. We have hope. We are beginning to see the end and the light is getting brighter.
Austin's 3rd Birthday was more than just a celebration of Austin's birth. It was in a way, a birth of our new lives and family. To paraphrase an old cliche. We will rise from the ashes of this horrible period and be better, brighter and stronger with Sebastian, Austin and Rachel leading the way.
