Andrew requested a carrot cake for his birthday, then he helped me make it and frost it.
JB and Millie took him a special lunch at school.
He just started Junior Jazz, and spends most of the time talking with other friends on the team. He had a game start at 8:30 at night and was thrilled he could stay up late.
Andrew is so enthusiastic for life and eager to please. Except when he is very persistently trying to argue a point. Like trying to persuade me to give him a later bedtime or his own personal electronics, like SO MANY other kids have (he says). Then I counter with all the parents I know who are like me. And we do it again the next night.
Millie calls him An-shoe or Drew-Drew, which sounds like "ju-ju." They are often each other's favorite sibling. She leads him around the house by the hand, and he rushes to see her first in the morning or when he comes home from school. "MILLIE! Did you miss me?"
Our Christmas-time baby wants another birthday party, but it may have to wait until summer for a half-birthday, or until he's 10. I bet he would love the attention.

I love the pics of the birthday child receiving parental kisses on each cheek. I look forward to them in each birthday post. Happy birthday, James!!! Seems like just yesterday that we were pregnant with our babies together. How can they be nine?? (Brynna still has 6 weeks, but I know I'll blink and it will be here.)
