How wonderful it is to see the look on your eyes when you woke up from your nap on Saturday and found a present on the kitchen table and a cake on the island. Now, we are not sure what you have known for celebrations from your past, what sense of a party you have, or how you were going to respond to our small party on Sunday but you did amazing.
You obviously knew what presents were. You ran to the kitchen table, touched the gift, and said "what's that?" with a smile on your face. I just laughed and told you to just wait until later more was to come. As soon as someone walked in the door you tried to rip the present from their hands - just to be told again, "just wait!" Easier said then done for you! You loved having a few friends here (Anna, Ellie, Gavin, Joaquin, and Micheala) and played for four hours with them downstairs, upstairs, and anywhere in between. Finally, it was present time! I got you the Leapster Explorer (I am hoping you will grow into this), Sally and the little ones got you a game for the Explorer, Nancy gave you blocks and a puzzle, and Joaquin and family gave you Operation the game and a basketball hoop. I think you favorite of the evening was the basketball hoop which was a great surprise to see!
You really did a great job, I know you knew the party was for you, clapped as we sang you Happy Birthday and gave your best attempt at blowing out the birthday candles. All and all a great evening with friends and family and I look forward to many more of these celebrations. Your actual birthday is tomorrow so one more day of celebrations at school.
Love you Baby
