Happy Birthday Jonathan

Today we celebrate 16 years of life with my special boy…
             16 years of  simple - full life…
                    full, because he knows how to live - simply but fully….

In the past I used to worry about how to make this special boys birthday special…

              trying to find a gift, a toy, or a movie that he would enjoy or play with….

It was so hit and miss, mostly miss.
               because he takes life simply….

he has a special toy that he loves fully and doesn’t need any others.

he has certain movies he likes and watches over and over, and feels no need for different ones unless it is a new copy of one that has  worn out  from skipping back and forth to favorite scenes.

I now feel no pressure when it comes to celebrating his day…
 because all he really wants is for his day to be recognized,

a simple present to open, a simple meal like pizza  and some cake and ice cream for dessert. 

  party hats are optional…
     
                         but welcome
    balloons get thrown outside to see if they will pop..
         so not necessary

    unless you want to be picking up balloon pieces all over the ground the next day.

Pictures are only for mama…

    cause it is rare to get one head on and smiling…  and he can take or leave them.

   
   Gotcha…

but they show his personality and give a glimpse of who he is…
              so today we simply and fully celebrate him…
