Jay so wanted a party at Chuck E Cheese this year. Garrett and I aren't big on places like that, but we caved and decided that is what he wanted so we would do it. After looking for the best deal and time, we met some of his church and school friends there for some fun on a Saturday at 10:00 in the mornings. Definitely the best time to be there. We beat the chaos of tons of kids.
It was definitely a sixth birthday he couldn't forget. Since then, Jay started first grade at Bain. He is in the new building and seems to have picked up where he left off in June. He is reading well, knows how to add and somewhat subtract, and seems to be enjoying his friends. He has a real interest in everything Pokemon. I think Garrett and I are Pokemoned out.
Jay also started his third season of soccer. He has really improved and become a great defensive player.
Our next birthday was little Taylor's first birthday. I know I could have gone all out making sure I had all the bells and whistles and everything to the tee, but really it is just a party. Parties nowadays we try to be easy on ourselves. Pizza is the staple along with of course cake. Taylor seemed excited about the cake and enjoyed every minute of it. She was too cute the entire time.
Our last party was this weekend, Mason. He turns three on Wednesday. He is such a funny kid, but don't let him fool you, he doesn't listen that well. We are still potty training and most of the time we put him in underwear. He will have accidents, but we are really proud of him holding it and telling us when he needs to go. We still have a ways to go.
I think he is the only kid who has cheered for himself at their own party after Happy Birthday was sung. It was too funny. He was so excited.
Another year has gone and we have three older kids. The last year with Taylor has flown by. We are definitely staying busy with everything and look forward to what's ahead.
