We had a visit from one of my best friends here in Ellensburg, Stephanie, and her new baby Asher this morning and we had a great time. Dylan got to hold the baby and help feed him. He just loves little babies... and he loves to talk. While we were all getting acquainted (since Dylan had yet to see him since being born) he said "Oh how cute he has little ears. Like little dog ears." Then later while I was holding Asher, Dylan came up and stroked his head. "Mom, I'm petting him like a dog!" I'm just glad I know this friend well, otherwise this dog comparison could have gotten a little awkward.
My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year). Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...
I love this entry. We had a great time during our visit. Can't wait until next time!
ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't say, "Take him back to the hospital" (as Jackie did about Josh).
