It is so nice to have a birthday in November and still have nice weather where they can play outside and burn energy. For the second year in a row, we rented a bounce house for the party.
Todd was very adament that I was not to be in the bounce house. After some talking to, he saw things my way and I could be in there if I wanted to!! I love it when they can see clearly!
Todd had a great time at his party and was very excited about every present. The most important one was a skateboard. You see, in his now 4 year old mind, this is what he wanted so he could hang on the the side of the van and ride his skateboard to his school. I asked him why he wanted to do that and he said "Because that's how skateboards work!" I asked him where he should ride a skateboard (thinking maybe he wanted a bike and was confuded) and he said "On the street holding onto the van, with one foot on the board and one on the ground pushing." Ok, think he has it figured out. He also told me that we had to go to Lowe's to make said skateboard.
I was very relieved when we left for school the next morning that there was no mention of riding the skateboard to school because a fit was sure to follow when he was told no! All in all, he had an awesome birthday. He can't wait until he turns five because brubber (brother) will then turn three so he will be the little brother (again, it's all in how his little mind works!)
Happy Birthday, Todd. You are all boy but you love to have cuddle hugs with mama :) You are very protective of me and your brother. Your eyes light up everyday when I come pick you up and I know that you will run with arms stretched to give me a hug. You are strong and very inquisitive. You love playing monster with Daddy and racing cars and wheel barrow rides in the backyard. Thank you Todd for being you, mama's sweet baby boy!
