During the week of Andrew's birthday (March 12), the dear child could be heard singing "Happy Birthday" to himself in his room during quiet time. Guess he wanted to practice up for the big day!
In the months leading up to the big day, we kept asking him what he wanted to do for his birthday. We offered ACAC's great set-up for parties, Bounce N Play, etc., but he kept saying he wanted it to be just his family at home. We finally all agreed to have 5 friends over for his 5th birthday. After being typically shy the first 15 minutes his guests arrived, he finally decided to have fun with his buddies. Then, Andrew, Wilson & Edward (his best boy friends from school) proceeded to jump in the bounce house, take a turn on the trampoline, and run circles around our property for the next hour and a half, only stopping briefly for pizza and cupcakes:) They were happy boys!

This is actually a tame riding of the horsey in the basement, complete with her rendition of "Go Tell it on the Mountain", in case you can't catch all of that!
How patiently she waits for us. Saturday morning reading (and tearing out of pages - oopps!). I hope this continues her WHOLE life!
