My youngest son has sat by my side, watching me write my entries for my blog, reading many of your blogs, and even commenting from time to time on others blogs. He watched with envy for several months and finally asked me if he could have his own blog. And I agreed.
Many of you know him as YaYa. He was just a babe when he got this nickname. It was when he was just learning to speak, and this was how he said his name. He had a lot of ear infections and I don’t think that he heard it properly.
“What’s your name?” people would ask.
He would say, “Ya-Ya”
It stuck with him.
He is YaYa. He is the boy who writes Growing Up Happy. Hopefully he will continue to be happy and thrive as he grows up.
He will certainly be happy this weekend as he celebrates his 8th Birthday with a few of his closest friends. He will certainly be happy when he discovers that I have hijacked his blog to post a special birthday entry for you to leave comments and Birthday wishes to this sweet little boy.
His birthday is on Monday. Please stop by to post a comment and encourage this little blogger of mine.
With many thanks.
Thanks to Bex for jumping right on this.
Sure thing, Juls. I’m on my way over. Is he the chairman of the Ya-Ya Brotherhood ;-)
Awe – he was such a cute baby and is an absolutely adorable boy.
Children are the greatest blessing and 8 is such a good age. My 3 boys are 9,7, and 4 and we are having a blast with them!
Such a cutie. What a great idea.
I wondered how he picked that name. He writes a great blog and I enjoy getting comments from him. And I really get a kick when I come across his comments on other blogs.
It would be great to see you at the Big Sur half-M. I hope that works out.
It took me a little detective work to figure out that he was your boy. It is great of you to let him have his own blog. Have a wonderful birthday with him.
