ah man, is this little mister excited to be five-years-old today:
DALLIN! DALLIN, DALLIN, DALLIN!
dallin, with the powerful voice. dallin, with the powerful lungs. dallin, who is inquisitive and observant and excitable and entertaining and (maybe more than) a wee bit short-tempered. dallin, who feels it all intensely and RIGHT NOW. dallin, who is absolutely not giving in and who is paying ZERO DOLLARS for your false dichotomy. dallin, who will apologize over his DEAD BODY! adorable, adorable, feisty little dallin.
his favorite meal is lunch. all other meals (except for lucky charms) are for the birds. his favorite thing is spider-man. his favorite other thing is rainbows. he lives to be a mischievous BEEMBI! (a word he and caleb made up that has reached cult status in our home) with his older brother and to be doted on as the cutest wittle baby boy who ever did live by his two older sisters (wonder when that one will end?).
and if caleb sees the world in mostly numbers, well then, dallin sees it in mostly words.
words, words, words. like, so many words.
he's my early reader. my top-notch speller. my spot-on lyrics singer. my talkative, talkative, talkative dally woo.
happy birthday, son! may you never stop drinking it all up and soaking it all in. on your own terms and in your own way, vegetables be d*mned! also, i'm pretty sure everyone in sacrament meeting at church super appreciates the weekly FULL VOLUME spelling bees you hold there, so for heaven's sake, don't stop with those any time soon.
BANGARANG!
love, mom
ps, if you know dallin at all, then you know why there's so much apparent YELLING in this post :)
