We still cannot believe Alex is turning 5 this weekend. Today, he was super excited that Mommy and Daddy were bringing afternoon snack for all of his friends at school to kickoff his birthday celebration. Miss Helen said he was tossing and turning during nap time and he said, "I am so excited for my birthday I can't sleep."
We brought in cupcakes, ice cream, and a cool craft for all of his friends to color. Alex passed out Batman lego napkins to each friend. It is very evident that he and his buddy Caleb are besties. They were inseparable and finishing each other's sentences. We even had GemGem join us from her classroom....although hers is next door and she probably would have smelled the chocolate through the walls and come running anyway.
It was so awesome watching all the kids. Just about all of them were barely sitting still and coloring at random. Alex was so precise and strategic about his marker selection. Definitely a different kind of child. Can't wait for the celebration to continue!!
