Five years ago, Robbie asked for a skateboard. We told him that three years old isn't old enough to have a skateboard and that you need to be eight years old. He never forgot this and has let us know on every birthday (and many other times during the year) how many more birthdays he has left until his eighth one. Last night, his wish of five years finally came true. Eight years old seemed so far away when Rob and I made this promise to our little three year old. Somehow we thought that this day would take forever to get here and now it feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. It was definitely a happy (and tear inducing!) moment to see his excitement when he opened this long-awaited gift.
