Be-lated Birthday Tradition

Six years ago,

on Scott's birthday,

I had ordered something for him online.

About a week before his birthday,

I realised the gift would not arrive in time.

It was Scott's first birthday

with Ethan.

He needed a present.

So I bought a kanga

and had a shirt made for him.

I then realised

there was enough material

left over to make

Ethan a shirt too.

And so a tradition was born.

Each year,

Ethan gives Scott a shirt,

and has one to match.

This year,

there was a lot going on.

I didn't get my act together. 

The shirts didn't make it on time.

But they did get here!

Happy birthday Scott.

Sorry it's late.
