"April - she's a quicker dance
with a forward gaze, and a backward glance
and a weakened knee and a wide-eyed chance
of flowers at your feet."
Dave Mallet

I can't believe it's been an entire month since I've offered anything!  Oh - but what a month it's been!  I experienced so many "firsts" with my young son - it was almost magical!  I can say there wasn't a single night that we didn't go to bed with smiles on our faces!

That piece up there reminds me of my friend, Hussy - Can you guess why??? 

April has always been a stupendous month for me - it was the month that cradled the anniversary of my parent's marriage, something we had always celebrated as if it was a national holiday!  It has ALWAYS been kicked off with lots of pranks and laughter, and with Spring blossoming all around, I've always felt we got gyped celebrating Valentine's Day in February instead of in April.

Fourteen years ago, a young man was born who would become more than the world to me - someone who has never failed to make my life all the more rewarding; each day seem to eminate with brightness - even when clouds covered the sky; each night a welcomed soul to share the happenings of the day and dreams of tomorrows.  April has become THE month I most look forward too - because I have a chance to try and express, once again, how grateful I am to have him in my life ~ what a treasure he is to me ~ and how very proud I am of who he is, and what he has accomplished in his life so far.

We seem to start celebrating earlier and longer each year- LMAO!  At first it was just he and I, then my sister Tam and her two kids joined in on his second birthday.  By three, it was a three party affair - the weekend before 'Tin's birthday his dad would throw a HUGE party, then all of my family would meet at Mom & Dad's for a feast and presents and cake and ice cream!  The weekend after his birthday, 'Tin would have a themed birthday party for all of his little friends.  We went through Barney, Hercules, Power Rangers, Pokemon, DragonBallZ, WWF Wrestling, WWF Wrestling, WWF Wrestling, WWE Wrestling - then he stopped having themed parties.  His special day fell during spring break and he and his friends were of an age when they spent goo-gobs of time with family.

This year, his older 26 year old brother took him to THE FIRST BASEBALL GAME either of them had ever been too!  It was an historical day, Washington D.C. hasn't had it's own Baseball team in over thirty (i believe) years!  Martin was on cloud nine - because of the game, and because he got to spend time with his big brother, whom he idolizes!

Next on the agenda - on the night of his birthday - was a dinner at a place Martin loves - Joe's Crab Shack - which is chock FULL of ambiance!  You really DO feel as if you're sitting in a place on the beach - ANY beach!  My family gathered there - we needed THREE long picnic bench tables with umbrella (LMAO) to seat everyone, and even then we had to snag a few extra 'rondack chairs!  We had a fantastic time - 'Tin was estatic over his gifts!  The crew came over and one of the guys said they were going to sing Happy Birthday, but since 'Tin was a young fella they were gonna make it short.  I almost fell out off my seat when they all on cue dropped to crouching position and started singing!!!!  They then brought out the TALLEST chocolate cake I've ever seen!  YUM!

Martin hasn't stopped talking about that night since!  It was a beautiful day - all the way around!  He's particularly proud of the fact he shares his birthday with a certain tall, gruesome and hulking wrestler - and that Mom choses to celebrate with her son over celebrating KANE's birthday online with her firends - Hey - I love KANE, but . . . there just isn't any contest there!

Last weekend, Martin got to take four of his closest guy friends to luncheon and then on a small spree at Dave & Busters, topping the day off with a pizza party.  His older brother and a friend Martin made while visiting in Colombia a few years back showed up -   I thought my son was gonna burst with happiness!  His paternal family threw him a brunch the next morning, his Grandmother had flown in from Colombia to surprise him - I tell ya - he's been walking on clouds from all the "presents" he's received. 

Yesterday, we had a meeting with his 8th grade teachers and went over the recommendations made by the high school counselors for his 9th grade year . . . based on his test scores, they want him to take honours english and honours science, with accelorated classes in all other subjects.  This was quite a shock for ME, let alone Martin, as he has been working through his dyslexia since we discovered it in the second grade, and has had to work very hard to get good grades!   WHAT A BOOST to his young ego!  WHAT a motivator this news has been!  He will still have a few special needs seen too - a calculator when taking math testing, and a word processor for writing . . . the choice of a little extra time when taking tests, especially when it entails a great deal of reading, but you should SEE the twinkle in his eyes!  The icing on THAT cake came in the form of the high school music director asking him PERSONALLY to audition for his chamber choir and the male quintet that has become famous around these parts in the last six years!!!!

Oh - I fear I've probably put any readers to sleep with this post - but I can't apologize . . . Spring has sprung and brought a bounty I'll cherish always, I'm filled to overflowing and itching to take a twirl or two around the May Pole ~ but that's a blog for a different day! 

 

Ohh Marce! Reading of you and beloved 'Tin just plasters a smile on my face and fills my heart with joy! :) You are my IDOL when it comes to a mother/son relationship!

Your tale of Martin's dyslexia touched me as we are in the process of having Max tested to see if there are any learning disabilities we need to be aware of. He is a first grader this year and has been struggling at times. I suggested the possibility of dyslexia when he was in pre-school but was told then it was too early to know, that most out grow it. I am looking forward to the results. If we know that there is a problem we can deal with it. 'Tin is living proof that it doesn't have to stop them!

I love ya Marce and am so glad to see you back around!
