Last night I posted on Twitter this note about Belly turning 9:
Birthdays tomorrow: Elvis, David Bowie and my own firstborn, who will be 9. She’s my favorite of the three.
And I received this reply from @susancree:
My oldest turned 9 in Oct. Ever since, I keep thinking, wow, that’s half of a childhood. Keep hoping I’m doing rt by him.
Oh, I hear her.
Half a childhood.
My beloved Belly. How I hope I always do right by you. And here’s to a second half as great as the first. Maybe even better.
Much love always and forever. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Belly!
Happy Birthday Belly!
Such a beautiful young girl. Happy Birthday Belly!

Half? [gasp] Oh. Stop it.
I still remember being out of town on a business trip and rushing home so I could snuggle that rosy-cheeked, tiny little thing on my chest while her exhausted mommy took a nap. sniff.
Happy Birthday, my darling girl. I love you. And your cousins ADORE you.

Happy half-childhood (mom and Belly).

Happy Birthday! Wow – sounds so bittersweet when you say 1/2 her childhood! You've done good!

Half a childhood? I think I wish you hadn't said that. Itai turns nine next month. Sigh…
Happy birthday Belly! Still an entire half to go, and whole new worlds to explore.

Ummm, wow. I didn't think of that! Well Happy birthday Belly! I have to admit, I got a little emotional when E turned 9 this weekend.

Oh, Happy Birthday! She's childhool over-the-hill!! 🙂 And I'm catching up on my reader that I haven't had a moment to touch in a couple of weeks. Hence the onslaught of comments right now. 🙂
