Happy Birthday to Lex!!!
We
celebrated Lex’s 4th birthday today, in a manner much more to
his liking than my weekend efforts. It started early with
blueberry waffles for breakfast. Then he opened fun presents
from Jim, Julie and Molly. The presents have been sitting on
our counter all week and he was super excited to finally be
able to open them. He got a game, a puzzle, and an indoor
sandbox! All three of which were opened and played with almost
immediately.

After Alan woke up
and my parents go here he opened a few more presents. Lots of
balls, a bat, a T-ball stand, books, games, trains and tracks,
sneakers, magazine and museum memberships. A good morning! Then
the family left and we played at home. I made a picnic lunch
and Alan took the kids outside to play T-ball. Lex loved
it!

After lunch the
kids napped and then we all went to the toy store and we let
Lex pick out one thing for his train set (he picked a bridge
set) and then he got his choice of restaurants for dinner.
Guess what he wanted?? Anyone??? Panerea Bread, of course!! A
blueberry bagel with cream cheese is the boy’s favorite dinner.

A day all about
Lex is just what he needed. Other than lingering sicknesses for
everyone, I think a good day was had by all. Tomorrow we try
the daycare routine again.

Happy
Birthday Lex, my beautiful four year old!! It’s been an
amazing, powerful, life-changing, four years! Thank
you.
