“Mum, I’ll be as fast as Sonic.”
He says it all the time.
Running to get something. Speeding out into the backyard. Racing his brother to the car.
Always: “I’ll be as fast as Sonic.”
Yeaterday I grabbed my camera and we had a bit of fun together.
At one point he disappeared and came back wearing a pair of shorts on his head because apparently that made him look like Sonic.
Then he found a stencil with zigzag edges, stuck them in the pocket of his shorts and declared they were his Sonic spikes.
He absolutely loved seeing the photos afterwards. Watching him see himself as Sonic was pretty magic for me too.
His speed. His imagination. All those tiny bits of personality that make him, him. They are the things I want to remember.
Not just what he looks like, but who he is.
As fast as Sonic. 💙
