The little man turned four today. He feels so big. We had a little gathering for cake. We had one extra guest. For some reason my kids like small things. We enjoyed cake and ice cream and singing "Happy Birthday To You." Well all of us except the little woman who covered her ears. Maybe it is the song she doesn't like.
Connor got his scooter. He did not get one for his best friend Kohen, his girl Kinzlee or for Milea. His nana is just not that generous. He got a batman toy that he also asked for. The biggest hit was some min figs I ordered online. He got superheros and she got ninja turtles. They played with those toys for a couple of hours. Yay! He also got a new car and a boat and a jacket. All in all a good haul.
He and Audrie both have gift cards from Mommy to go shopping with. I waited with Audrie's so they could shop together. I think that avoided a lot of melt downs.
What I found interesting is he is more aware of what other people get. He had commented several times that he wanted as many presents as Eban got for his birthday. Eban is the only grandchild of two sets of grandparents. He gets a lot of presents. That isn't ever happening for Connor. And there is no explaining why some kids get a lot more. Anyway he was fine with what he got and never asked for more today. Sometimes enough is enough.
Happy birthday little man. I remember the day you were born and all the love I have felt for you from that moment on.
