Six years have passed and Dexter continues to amaze me every day. He is mature, caring, articulate, confident, intelligent... everything you would hope for your child.
He continues to thrive at school.
He continues to be a loving big brother and an amazing role model for Rayna to learn from.
He has been on the sidelines of the upheaval of his mummy going through cancer treatment and yet he remained his usual happy, loving, patient self.
What more could I ask for!
Conveniently, Dexter's birthday landed on a Saturday this year so we had a nice slow morning opening presents and playing before party time.
Dexter's venue of choice this year was a trampoline park. It seemed a hit with all his friends and Rayna enjoyed it too :)
Funnily enough, I didn't take that many pictures for Dexter's birthday this year. I wasn't able to enjoy his birthday quite as much last year as I was distracted with horrible side effects from treatment. This year, I didn't want to be behind the camera documenting everything. This year, I just wanted to watch. And enjoy. And join in.
This past year has been a bumpy one but I am lucky enough to be here to enjoy what is still to come and I can't wait to see how much more of an amazing young man Dexter grows in to this next year.
