Today was a big day in our house. Thing One has hit double digits. I am not sure how I feel about all of this. I am excited that this means we are over halfway done raising him but then it makes me sad that we are halfway done raising him. As luck would have it his birthday fell on the Chinese New Year which made his little boy heart swell due to his love of all things Chinese. He actually thinks that this only happens once every few years and to have it be on his birthday is a good omen. Naturally I have yet to correct him. I did however make his whole day theme appropriate. Here now are the pictures.
First up his class room treats-
For some unknown reason he had this whole elaborate plan that involved the janitor who would get credit for these fine specimens. It took Myers twenty minutes to convince him to just hand them out.
We then went to Chinese for din din and came home and had these-
Last year it was brought to my attention that I had failed to make him a birthday cake so I had to repent of my sins and beg forgiveness by offering veggies made of sugar. On the way home from procuring ice cream he asked where the balloons and streamers were to decorate the house-DOH! Next year I might get this right.
He received his gift from us earlier this week-
Yep that is a full grown man bike! 26 inches of tire and one mom left to wonder how and where all the time has gone.
I thought about not letting him have a birthday this year but turns out that that is not how these things work.
So instead I will just say Happy Birthday little man. May you always know that becoming your mom was one of the best things I have ever done and that all of my greatest adventures have had you in them.
