Notice the name of the post? When #2 Son was a little boy, he was slightly oddly made - he had a long torso and these little short legs that made it a hoot to watch him play U5 soccer. His short legs stayed with him long enough to haunt him in his teenage years, and earned him the nickname 'Oompa', as in "Oompa Loompa' of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory fame. Even to this day, at 6'1" tall, he has a 30" inseam. The same as mine. And I'm 4 inches shorter than he is.
But he looks normal, now. Not so much when he was a kid.
He is my 'earth child'. He is my mechanically inclined son. He is my tinkerer and my wiring guy.

What an awesome smile :D!
Happy birthday!
(And I like that nickname, even though it was maybe torture for him ;) )
I agree with Nicole... that must have been a nickname to carry. But he doesn't seem to be any the worst for wear.
Happy Birthday #2!
Handsome young man you've got there! I hope he has a terrific birthday!
And he is an incredibly handsome guy! Must take after his dad. I wish him a very happy birthday!
Look at how handsome he is! He looks just LIKE you! Happy Birthday to Oompa! (hahahahhaa!)

Happy Birthday to #2... he inherited his dad's good looks. He has an incredible smile, and he has your eyes.
I'm way behind reading blogs.
Happy ( belated) birthday Oompa!
I guess I am a very lucky lady! Such a hottie he is!
