It hasn't been all that long, yet here I am home again. I think mom was missing me because it was rather short notice. Thankfully my job allows me to come for a visit whenever possible. Of course she claimed that she wanted me there for my nephew's birthday. Hey, it's as good an excuse as any. Besides, mom arraigned for him to have a Shetland pony, Mosey, give some rides. Apparently a woman she knows has a rescued pony and often takes the disabled children my mom deals with at work on rides.
So as usual I went overboard. It's crazy how much I like this little guy. He's just such a sweet happy boy. You can't be around him and not feel happy just to watch him. He's become the center of the world, as he should be. So when I come I naturally bring books and other goodies. He has a thing for stickers, so I always make sure to have a pack or two.
He loved the pony, he was just scared to ride it. So instead he lead it around by a rope while his friends rode. Of course as soon as the pony was put back into the trailer, he wanted his ride. Thankfully the wonderful woman brought Mosey back out for him.
He may not remember this birthday since it's only his third, but there's no way that I forget his smile. There's no way I forget his bear hug and the big growl he uses just for me. Well granted that's because I told him that giving big hugs meant you had to growl. As a side note, I also taught him where his parents put the batteries for some of his more obnoxious toys. His parents can thank me later.
