First Comes Love...

Happy Birthday, Hei Hei!

There aren't many people who love birthdays as much as George, which makes celebrating him especially fun! George has been talking for a while about a Chuck E Cheese birthday party (thanks YouTube channels 😏) so we finally gave in and everyone had a great time.

Alright, little man - it's your turn!

G Man is four and half, and you can be certain he's one proud dude! George takes birthdays very seriously (namely gifts / toy procurement) and while he didn't receive any gifts today, we did splurge on Girl Scout cookies with a candle and song which had him giddy with delight.

My smart, amazing middle man turned four this past weekend and we were so excited to celebrate him!

It seems impossible, right?  But it's true!  Our baby is now a caring, thoughtful, and kind little six year old girl.

G, you're the sweetest.  Here is your first birthday interview.  You loved being in the hot seat; all the attention on you.  Hopefully by the next interview you'll learn to ignore Sissy and answer the questions for yourself  😉 (I realize after re-watching this how annoyed I was with you two, but no doubt I'll look back on this someday thinking how cute it was.  Go figure!)

Your half birthday skipped by without notice this month, but I didn't want to get away without a Birthday interview, so here it is!

Bitsy Girl!!  You're five! Too cool for school  ;) This year went by so fast, but you've grown so much.  You're writing your name, learning your letters, and so very thoughtful and observant.   You're so excited to be a big kid, but still use " I'm just 4, Mama" when it suits you. "I don't know all my letters.  I's only FOUR!" "It's ok, I'll do ____ when I'm five" :) It's an adorable procrastination tactic. I'm feeling especially sentimental this week, and I'm not sure why.  The first couple of birthdays were purely fun celebrations, but as you move into early adolescence, I find myself increasingly sentimental and emotional.  Such a Mom, huh? Today is your big day, and we're headed to a farm in Redmond for a pony party!  We let you choose between a Western or Unicorn theme, and of course you picked the Unicorn theme.  I expect some very pastel pictures out of this. As per our n...
