the eric update - day 1106: almost a super special third birthday.

no, certainly you didn't forget that july 4th is odin's third birthday!

he certainly knows the special day is coming up has been known to tell random strangers that his birthday is fast approaching as he holds up three fingers while telling them that he's going to be "treeeee!"

we're all obviously very excited and even took the opportunity to have a little celebration while a special grandma visited before we take a trek to the u.p. to celebrate once again on his birthday proper with a gaggle of cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents.

we'll be on the road tomorrow, but i'm sure sooner or later you'll see a photo or two of one very happy three year old hanging out with some of his very favoritest peeps. and if all goes well, after three years he'll even get to stay up and see some fireworks.

HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY, BIG GUY!

By Sarah, at 3:38 PM

Great to see a happy happy-third-birthday boy! Must tell you: I live in CA, am friend of Shoshana's grandparents in OK, and just returned from visit in Oregon. While there I was talking about all the wonderful babies turning into real kids. I said Odin is my favorite tho I do not know his parents. My friend said someone had recently told her about the adventures of a preemie named Odin who got lots of postcards!! How about that!!!! Esta

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
