This little cutie is Robbie, my nephew. He just turned seven yesterday – and we celebrated with friends and family earlier today at Adventure Landing. The kids had a blast playing video games, jungle golf and laser tag.
The first time I met Robbie was two years ago at the Sprink family beach vacation. The first night I got there, he asked me if I would have breakfast with him the next morning! Who could say no to a five year old as cute as Robbie? So that morning, and every morning afterwards, we had breakfast together. Just the two of us. He even shared his Frosted Flakes with me. Until the box was nearly empty. Then he relegated me to Raisin Bran (major ICK!, btw Robbie!)
As if that weren’t enough, he really gave Uncle Jeff a run for his money at dinner one night. We had all gone out to eat and Robbie was sitting between Uncle Jeff and me. He had this Pet Pals game thing and he created a Pet Pal for me….a big fancy pink poodle. He bought me/her lots of shoes (who doesnt love a man who buys SHOES!) and even a TIARA (even better!!)….and then someone asked him what he was naming me/her. He paused for a moment, smiled and said “I think we’ll call her Beautiful.” Yes….my heart completely melted at that moment! One of the sweetest things I think anyone has ever said. I think Uncle Jeff was a little jealous – and of course, he caught a little flack for letting a five year old put the moves on!
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Robbie! Aunt Renee (and Uncle Jeff, too) loves you!
