4!

I Wonder If I'm Growing

I wonder if I'm growing
I wonder if I'm growing
My mom says 'yes, I'm growing'
But it's hard for me to see

My mom says 'eat your sandwich
It will make you grow up tall'
But when I eat my sandwich
I'm hardly bigger at all

I wonder if I'm growing
I wonder if I'm growing
My mom says 'yes, I'm growing'
But it's hard for me to see

My mom says 'Wash your hands now
Then you can go and play'
Hey, I can reach the tap now
For the very first time today

And I think I must be growing
Oh I know I'm really growing
My mom says 'yes, I'm growing'
And now I know it's true

Harmon, today you are 4! I don't know how many times I have to say it or write it before I actually believe it to be true.

This song, by Raffi, is special to the both of us but for different reasons. You like it because you're a kid and you like Raffi music. I like it because, even though it makes me a little sad, it reminds me of times when you couldn't "reach the tap" or of the times I told you to eat so you would "grow up tall."

I love you, little man, no matter how much growing you do! Happy birthday, buddy!
