This was the first year that we got to anticipate Ivan's birthday with him. It helped that Silas had a birthday just about 2 weeks before him because he knew better what was coming. During those two weeks, he would crawl into my lap and say, "Let's talk about my birthday." He then proceeded to tell me what he wanted to eat on his birthday and that he wanted his own piano, his own fan, his own fireplace. Basically one of everything he could see. Make sure it's his own though. Do you see a pattern here?
And once the day arrived, it wasn't a let down! He's our first full blown extrovert, and they just party a little differently than us introverts. He had the biggest smile on his face the WHOLE day. We played a birthday song for him, and he put his head against the speaker so he was sure to hear it. He kept asking me if it was still his birthday. And he kept telling us how old he was.
Grammy and Gramps treated us to dinner at Cheddar's where Ivan got to sit between them in the booth. And then we came back for his GIANT cupcake and presents. He couldn't decide between cupcakes and a cake, so we did both.
He sure keeps our life fun and interesting! We love you, Ivan and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for your life!
