In just about one hour, Julian will officially turn ten. That is a whole decade that he has been on the planet. In addition to now having to use every finger he possesses to show people how old he is, he is about 6 inches shorter than me and wears the same size shoe as me. I bought him a silly hat at the dollar store, and we took cupcakes to school. Here he is wearing the hat, holding hisgrocery store balloon and the bear his teacher gave him. Such a ham!!
