Nugget is 5

Alex turned 5 yesterday. He was so excited cause all year he waits for his birthday. It is harder for him I think because most of his friends from daycare all have summer to early fall birthdays so he sees everyone else with cake and presents and wants it too. Anyway he wanted a spiderman cake, no surprise there, and presents right away. So Sunday we had a family party for him and Jayne made his cake and he always gets a birthday tree decorated special just for him, can you guess the theme? Spiderman!! Since he is soooo into superheros we found him an old school He-Man dvd set that has the first season of He-Man. He was so excited to get it. We also got him a superhero dvd that has all of his favorites minus spiderman and said it was from Jade, again super excited!! Michael gave him a pair of new shoes that we have yet to be able to remove from his feet. He loves them so much he wants to sleep in them. They are blue and white Nikes and he says they make him jump high and run fast. My Auntie Gail sent him Ice Age part 3 and my mom found these super cool action figures that are knights and horses. He really liked them too. Jayne and Keith got him candyland and chutes and ladders which he played yesterday with his dad. His friends Kale, Rylee, and Eli got him a soft and warm Batman blanket and tshirt, he loves it!! Liam and Luci got him a monster truck pack that has a batman truck and dvd. The neighbors gave him a spiderman lego set. He got some money which is in his savings now and now he is anxious for xmas. Hard to believe 5 years ago he was an 8 pound 10 ounce baby. I am very lucky to be able to say I didn't miss a thing. I got to see all his firsts, steps, teeth, words, rolls, jumps, climbs, everything! Happy Birthday Nugget, I love you very much! thanks for reading xoxo
