His disposition brings a sense of calm and warmth to everyone around him which is quite a feat when you have four sisters who share your birthday. A true baseball fanatic, he immerses himself in the game, both as a player and a dedicated fan. He cherishes the time spent watching and playing sports with his dad and anyone else who will join him. His gentle nature and unwavering curiosity make him a joy to be around; we learn something new every day from Mr. Theo.
Birthdays are a welcomed time for nostalgia and as a strong INFJ, I love to reminisce!
The number 11 has always carried significance in my life. When I was younger it was angel time. Something that felt magical about consistently glancing at the clock at 11:11 am and sneaking in a wish or a prayer. Today, this holds true. There are schools of thought around numerology and deeper connections to realms beyond our own. While I don’t ascribe to this system of thought, I can’t deny the alignment that this number fosters. In some circles, 11 also represents a season of transition. As we approach the V5’s 11th birthday, we are certainly in a season of transition.
Last year, we celebrated the onset of double digits. This year, we are amidst a move to middle school, changing bodies, expanding minds and harder questions about life, significance, and belief systems. We are also witness to bigger feelings and emotions… anxiety, fear, sadness, anger and even rage. Frank and I continue to partner to expose the kiddos to coping strategies that will bring peace amidst the change and will stay with them as life gets harder. In this, we remind ourselves of the value that personal time outs can provide.
We move forward in making new memories to look back on in the not-too-distant future. Please join us celebrating our miracles and this year’s looking back series!
