off day...

so, today is my son, s's, 9th birthday. he came to see me in bed, and i started talking to him about how much i liked his name before he was born. how i thought it was such a peaceful, intelligent, thoughtful, sensitive, bright, intensely creative name. and then i gave it to him, and wow! he's all those things and more. and then i started wondering if he sent me "vibes" that said, "hey mom, this is how i'm going to be...give me this name..." we thought it was pretty funny. thing is, i forgot it was his birthday until the end of this conversation, so i real sly-like say, "and now you've had that name for NINE WHOLE YEARS" all playing it cool like i knew....

more later
peace
