LJ had a nice birthday - the highlight was LJ asking for everyone to sing happy birthday to him again and again. He put in his order for an Elmo party and since I can't say N-O to him I pretty much caved (incidentally Nate put in his order for a Star Wars Lego theme and his birthday isn't even til December!). The grandparents were all here. Nanny & Babu came up from Florida, and Didi & Bop, friends and family didn't have an easy task convincing Mr. Noodles that sweet birthday treats are good for the body. Chalk art, balloons, sandboxes, a new buggy car and gorgeous weather were all a good distraction though.
Mrs. G at school today also had a little celebration for LJ. We had those homemade pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and LJ tried to stick it in his ear! He had an amazingly good time doing the spider swing with his teacher today, and he also tried crawling over mulch through tunnels on the playground. Later in the day, Nate joined us to have the birthday snack and help me read one of LJ's favorite stories to the class.
Now for the gratitude. I can't believe I have an almost 5-year old and a 2 year old. Thank you thank you to everyone who emailed and sent well wishes for my little man. You totally rock. It was a good birthday weekend - hope your weekend was fun too!
Thank you for helping me to party vicariously with LJ and the family! Much love from Aunt Joanne and Uncle Jeff
