Today we celebrated Tommy's 5th birthday with his preschool friends at Fun Zone in Bellingham. John and I had debated about where to have it and how much we were willing to spend, but after watching all the kids bounce and run themselves into exhaustion for almost two hours, we realized that it was so worth the price we paid to have our party there. In the morning I was preschool helper, listening to the kids give extra attention to the birthday boy, watching him have the extra classroom duties like counting numbers for the calendar and being line leader, and then having the kids sing to him at snack time. It was so wonderful to see the little smile on his face throughout the morning. By late that afternoon, as I rushed off for an evening of training at work, both the boys were exhausted from all the activity..and it's only Wednesday!
Thursday!
Today, Tommy took his first playdate....to Carson Neff's house. Michelle and I have been trying to make this work for what seems like forever now, but this week was even more tricky due to my crazy training schedule this week. Between work scheduling and the babysitters that we have coming and going, it was difficult to organize. But we finally managed it, and when John went to pick him up, he was holding a Wii controller in his hand and asking to stay longer. I'd say that was a successful first playdate for him...
Friday night!
Today, Brad, Erica, Emma and Grace rolled into town, and we started the weekend party with a trip to Red Robin! Fun times with them all!
