Today is the day we measured Boy Wonderful and HE IS OFFICIALLY TALLER THAN ME.
Ohhhh, 13.5 years old and taller than his dear young mum... Coincidentally, I found a story that we co-wrote when he was 6.5 years old. It's called "The Boy Who Danced Himself Silly at the Jazz Festival" ... here it is.
Connor was 6 1/2 and he was a dude. He was a real groover, and anyone who saw him dance always said, "what a groover!"
He went with his Mum on a Mystery Adventure Day of Treats (MADOT) one Saturday. They got on a bus, (but they didn't know if it was a flying bus or not), and drove for a while with 96.1 FM playing. There was a lot of grooving happening on that bus but it was very cold. We asked the bus driver to turn off the cold but then we nearly choked because the Weirdo Guy was smelly.
We arrived at the adventure place, and straight away Connor said, "I'm HUNGRY!" as usual. The Mummy was very prepared and gave him an apple. He chewed on the apple (but not with his loose tooth) while the grown-ups set-up the picnic. Then he had a ham roll that was in his bag of treats. After that he went to the ice-cream shop and bought a Paddle-Pop in a bucket. It was the first time ever that Connor was allowed to go to the shop by himself.
After that, everyone went dancing in the mosh pit. James Morrisson playsed the trumpet and Don Burrows played the saxophone. It was great fun, and Connor danced like Elvis.
On the way home the bus was very bumpy. Connor read the first chapter of Tom Sawyer's Adventure, but because Connor's adventure was bigger, he thought it would be good to write about it. But his Mum got there first.
The end.
PS Connor didn't lose his tooth!
Today I am thankful for beautiful memories that surface spontaneously.
