Has Dennis really been in our lives for five whole years? Has it been that long? Has it been ONLY that long? The one-seventh of my life that he has been a part of has most assuredly been the most wonderful part!
I woke him up by singing Happy Birthday to him in his bed. He didn't want to get up, and I didn't blame him. We had a late but wonderful night last night, so late that he finally conked out in the car, and when he woke as we arrived home, he said "I want to go to bed and go to sleep NOW!". We let him! It was a good day today, worth getting up. I bribed him awake with a birthday gift, a box full of Space Toy Story toys (the very ones I won in a contest that he had nearly forgotten were coming). I would have let him be late for school, but I got called to substitute teach his class. Gran and Pop came to his school party and also took him out for lunch. He had a second party in his church class tonight. Chloe (and Ellen) sent a video of her singing to him. He got a special e-card. David presented him with a new LEGO Ninjago set, and he played with all his new stuff so happily! He turned down a potential ice cream stop after church in favor of coming home to play with his new toys.
I love, love, love this FIVE year old!
