Will's birthday rolled around again. Just like last year. I can't believe this thing keeps coming! This year he turned the big #9!
He had a pretty good day. Unfortunately, it was a school day so he had to go hit the books but since they did away with birthday table I went and checked him out of school so we could go get lunch together. He opted for McDonald's which is kinda funny since we NEVER go there. I think he was underwhelmed. Ha ha!
That night was full of not so fun birthday stuff. He came with me to my soccer practice for Kate's team. The team did sing to him and it was awesome having his help. Then we had to hurry off to Kate's piano recital! Kate did an amazing job (but again, not what Will would choose for his birthday activity...but he didn't complain). And as soon as we walked out of the library there was a birthday rainbow just for Will! It was awesome!!
After the recital and a late pizza dinner he FINALLY opened his presents!
It lasted all of 25 seconds but he seemed pleased with everything and it was getting late. His request for a cake was "sharks surrounding an alligator." I don't know....this is what I came up with but he liked it!
Then a couple days later we got to celebrate again and I took a bunch of wiggly, talkative boys to the rec center to swim.
We started with presents and doughnuts in the lobby.
Then I didn't see them for like an hour and a half besides the occasional check in or swim by. They had a BLAST! (I brought Kate and Jonah too)
9 is such a fun age and they are such fun/funny boys. I sure love Will and love any chance I can to celebrate him. Happy birthday buddy!!
