It's hard to believe that 4 years ago today in about a half hour, our Cyril entered into this world. I was so nervous at what Spencer was going to say and how he was going to react. He hadn't reacted very well to the news when he had told him he was going to be a big brother. He refused to talk to anyone that even mentioned babies, or the fact he was going to be a big brother. Then again that's Spencer for you. I remember the first couple of weeks after we brought Cyril home. Dawn was so enthralled with him, and Spencer could careless about him, but boy oh boy - if Cyril started fussing or crying, Spencer got very upset, and wanted you to "fix" Cyril right that second, so he wouldn't cry. When Cyril was 3 weeks old, I was making our bed, when Cyril started fussing. Then next thing I know, Spencer is singing to him. It reassured me that things would be okay, maybe not perfect (what life is?), but okay.
Fast forward to now: Cyril is a walking, talking spitfire of engery. I swear this little boy is going to be the one that brings me gray hair. He beats to his own drum, nows what he wants and thinks that he's able to do everything. He's stubborn and exhausting some days. lol. On the flip side he's sweet, loving, compassionate, and a little ham. He's so expressitive with his eyes. He loves to wrestle with Spencer and Dawn. He's a wonderful big brother to Gordon as well, even trying to "help" nurse Gordon.
Today the kids and I went to Dairy Queen to celebrate his birthday. We'll have a birthday party this weekend with friends and family. Hopefully it won't be so hot and humid as it has been.
Happy Birthday my darling fireball!
God Bless
