Tommy liked opening his presents. He probably enjoyed the boxes more than the presents themselves. All the ribbon and wrapping paper was fun to play with too.
He loved hearing the Happy Birthday song. He smiled all the way through it. He seemed more interested in the candle than the cake. We had to help him blow out his candle. He just kept reaching for it and trying to touch the flame. He was excited to eat the cake, but after his hands got covered with sticky frosting, he just wanted to be clean again. He partied hard.
On his actual birthday - March 27th, Puna called to sing Happy Birthday again. Tommy cried through the whole song because Mommy wouldn't let him hold the phone. Later that day we called Grammy and Grampy via Skype so they could watch Tommy open his present from them. Tommy had fun hearing Grammy sing Happy Birthday. He loved the cars. He kept saying "ooh" as we pulled each car out of the box. Lily and Annie like to make them go and Tommy will chase after them.
Can you tell we like to stretch out celebrations as long as possible? The day after Tommy's birthday his present from Mommy and Daddy arrived in the mail. He got two new books and a set of bristle blocks. The blocks were such a hit with the kids, they all played with them for almost two hours.
Happy birthday to our darling boy. You have such a special spirit and we are blessed to have you in our family. We love you Tommy.
