Our Henry turned 7!! We love Henry so much! He is such a sweet, curious, energetic little boy that is a joy to have around. It has been a fun year of Henry. He has grown and learned so much and it is fun to watch him grow. Sometimes, when I go to tuck him in at night, I look at my little boy and wonder how and when he got so big, and at the same time want to soak up every last second of him being as little as he is now. He's growing up so fast and I don't like to think about how much growing he'll do in the next 7 years.
Poor Henry. For his actual birthday, he got sick. Like stomach, make you wish you could die, sick. He missed school, his school "party", where I was going to eat lunch with him then read to his class, plus being the teachers special helper. After school there was a carnival, that I usually dodge but felt obligated since he was so excited AND it was on his birthday. Poor kid missed it all. I went another day to do his birthday things, but I don't know if it was the same.
Others of us had already had the bug, and it was a swift moving one, so he was feeling better by supper time. To at least acknowledge his birthday on the day, we let him decide what we should have for supper. I was totally surprised when he picked a Costco hot dog. I asked him several times if he was sure about that and he insisted he was up for it, so Nate picked Costco food court up on his way home from work. Henry only made it part of the way through, but I think it was fun and different enough that he was happy with his day.
Once we all were recovered from our turn with the bug we actually celebrated his birthday with a family party. He wanted a sharks and army cake. I provided the cake and decoration supplies and he set up a whole battle of sharks vs. soldiers. Cutest kid decorated cake I ever saw. :D
