Dash turned eight today!  Where has the time gone?  This boy has turned into the sweetest boy, who still loves to suck his fingers, still loves his blankets — all four of them, begs to sleep each night with Nonnie, is squirly at all times, is always game to be Pippi’s student or Scout’s wrestling mate, loves games, adores his mama and potty talk!
I call him my “Little Apple Dumpling” and he HATES it!
But I secretly think My Little Apple Dumpling loves it!
When he was getting his presents today, Scout surprised him with something.  Scout has been planning this surprise for a long time, and paid for it 100% with his own money.  THat is saying something, because Scout doesn’t spend his money on anything!

Dash was pretty excited!

Especially when Scout bought him something he has wanted for a long time!!!

But I honestly don’t know who is more excited — Dash to get it, or Scout to give it.  Whomever it was — it was a sweet moment!

Dash is so excited to turn eight!  But I kind of wish I could turn back time, and celebrate number eight in a few years!  Time is going way too fast!
Happy Birthday my little Dumpling.
