Our son was born 3 days before my birthday and he just turned 4.
I can’t believe it has gone so fast!He was little (7lb 14oz) and squishy. Now he is a wall climbing, tear things up, and wiggly boy! We had all his friends over for a party in the back yard. We are real low key for birthdays, healthy snacks and we request no gifts, and it has always worked for us. That way, if the time ever comes and they want a “big deal” of a birthday, we have something to work up to
The birthday boy requested banana nut muffins for “cake". They were yummy! We also did our traditional meal at the Mexican restaurant they put a sombrero on him and sang Happy Birthday to him in Spanish and English. Gosh! Those folks are great.
We had a second party at Grandma’s where he was gifted a set of crocodiles. He immediately “gave” one to his sister and they have not put them down yet.They sleep with them, carry them with them shopping, and even out to eat. I love that my kids love animals, even the “less cute” ones!
Kids grow up really quick. It is true in the saying that "don't blink or you will miss something". So now, I do not want to blink anymore, as I want to watch them grow and have fun and happiness.:D
