He was speechless! Which is saying something because the boy never closes his mouth. He couldn't believe that he had his very own fish. However, he did tell me that if this one died he wants two goldfish to take it's place. Way to think ahead, son!
Mamaw, Katherine, and I sang "Happy Birthday" to him over a pancake breakfast. He licked the chocolate off of the candle and bit the end of the candle off. He promptly spit out the wax!
For a very special treat, we met Leanne, J, and L at the local pizza place for lunch. The two big boys had so much fun playing games and eating pizza. The little ones had a blast too! We were there for two hours and they still didn't want to leave.
Of course, a September birthday just isn't a real birthday without a little football. We went to watch cousin G play in the eighth grade game for a little while before heading to soccer practice.
After soccer practice, J finally got to get his big present from all of us. A new bicycle! It is much bigger than the last one and has mud grips on the tires. That obviously means he can ride in the muddy water! He had to try it out and have Papaw adjust a few things so he can ride it better. He loves it!
It was a very long day but J had a fun birthday! I can't believe he is five. It went by too fast!
I love you, baby boy. Happy birthday!
