Sunrise, Sunset
Today is Ian’s fourth birthday. When he was born, Ian’s first sound was a screeching wail. Four years later, he’s able to express himself more accurately.
‘Happy birthday, Ian!’
‘I don’t feel different.’
‘Today’s your birthday!’
‘Why?’
‘You’re four years old!’
‘Are my teeth going to fall out?’
Happy birthday, kiddo. We love you!
(Today is also the birthday of my brother, Nick. Happy birthday, bro! Your teeth won’t fall out, either.)

Have you been reading “More Parts” to Ian?

Perhaps Ian is anticipating a visit from the Tooth Fairy???
