Little Chirp came barreling out of his classroom when I went to pick him up on his birthday. He knew that it was time for the week of Little Chirp. I would like to say that he kept his promises to Big B that he would share his birthday week choices, if Big B shared his last month. Unfortunately, this is not how it went.
I felt extremely proud of Big B. He didn’t get upset, and he embraced that it was Little Chirp time in the spotlight. After dinner, of Little Chirp’s choosing, we went birthday shopping at Target. At one point, I asked Little Chirp if he wanted to let his Big B pick something out, or if he wanted it to be all about Little Chirp. Little Chirp’s response, “It is all about ME”
Big B said, “I do not mind Mom. I like seeing how happy he is today.” Little Chirp got all the new things we bought that day, but Big B built upon something within himself that you can not put a price tag on.
