Every year I'm shocked another year has gone by and my baby boy isn't little anymore! His birthday was on a Wednesday this year. We got him up and made his favorite breakfast, German Pancakes, then opened the gift tower (for busy/lazy parents who didn't have time to wrap each gift individually).
He really wanted Legos so that's what he got... and some other stuff.
We went to Soelberg's to get his birthday treat-- doughnuts and juice. When we were walking in he said, "Mom do you get cooler on your birthdays?" and I said yes, that's why I am super cool... because I'm old. He said, "Yeah and you were really weird and nerdy when you were little."
Gee, thanks buddy!
When we got home from school Will couldn't wait to build Legos. Since I happen to LOVE them I was happy to help him!
That night we went to his favorite place for dinner, Cafe Rio. He always orders a huge burrito and eats most of it... crazy, I know. This boy eats A LOT.
Then, we went to Cold Stone to choose a cake.
We got home and sang Happy Birthday.
I love my sweet Will. He is such a content, happy boy. He is so fun to be around. He is taking on the "Cask" sense of humor with his practical jokes and teasing... I tend to laugh harder than Matt and Mae (they don't get it), but he is always making me laugh. Will has a tender heart. He is always concerned that someone is going to be left out or get their feelings hurt. He doesn't want anyone to feel bad. Will has little girls he likes at school. Last year he had one in particular, Jordan... I ran into her mom at church and she said her daughter said "I fell down at recess and Will reached his hand out to help me up... like "A Prince!"
Will is good at anything he does... I mean, really, he is. We went ice skating and he took some laps around getting used to it, then he took off on his own. He knows he can accomplish anything. His teachers have reported to us how smart and sharp he is. A lot of things in school come very easy to him. He is also a go-getter and loves to get his home-work done so he can play and do other things. I Love that he naturally has such good habits!
For Will's birthday we did archade games, went to dinner and saw the movie Frozen. It was such a fun day celebrating our sweet boy. I am blessed to be his mother.
