Sully Is Three

by Pa Rock
Proud Grandpa

My youngest grandchild, Sullivan Charles Macy, is three-years-old today.  He is at home and undoubtedly preparing to party hearty with his sister, Olive, their parents, Tim and Erin, and all of those wonderful cousins and other relatives who live in and around the suburbs of Kansas City where Sully has been at home his entire life.

I was at the hospital in Kansas when Sully was born three years ago today, so we have been acquainted since his Day One.  Over the intervening time we have hooked up for visits many times - usually at his house, but a couple of times down here on the farm.

Sully is a high-energy kid.  He likes being busy and especially enjoys being outside.  He likes going for rides in his wagon, particularly to the park, and has fun playing basketball.  He is very good at throwing his small basketball through the hoop.  He also likes playing with his toy trucks, and has developed a keen interest in excavators and firetrucks.  Sully's daddy will drive him to construction sites so that they can watch the excavators dig - and there is a firehouse near where they live, so Sully likes to ride by there and look at the firetrucks.

The biggest change that I have noticed in young Sully over the past year has been in his ability to speak clearly.  He likes to talk and share his thoughts on things.  I love it when Sully sits and chatters with me about things, and I hope that as he gets older he will continue to share bits of his life with his old granddad!

Happy. birthday, Sully.  May you enjoy at least a hundred more!

Happy Birthday Sullivan!! I didn't know that about Tim driving him to watch excavators. That's awesome. We sent him a whoopie cushion for his birthday, nothing remotely close to the interests you mentioned here, ha, but we figured it would make him laugh! :)
