Oh, how I love Justin! My little boy is growing up! I love that he wanted a police car/fire truck themed party and that he still loves to play. But when I look back on all he's accomplished this past year, it amazes me how much he has learned and how much he has matured. One year and two days ago my son flew over the pond with our family to resume life in the States, yet he is still able to recount with superb clarity every train station, airport, bus ride, and more that we experienced living in London (and Paris and Barcelona). He's completed his second year of full time preschool, learned to read, does simple addition and subtraction, and started kindergarten. He's mastered his two-wheeler, learned to swim and joined a local soccer team. He's graduated from Sunbeams and confidently moved up to CTR 5s with a teacher he loves and friends he adores:
For his birthday we had planned various water balloon activities, but the weather didn't cooperate. So with a little quick thinking and A LOT of help from Uncle Luke and creative cousins, Tyler and Alex, we pulled off a totally different - and FUN - party.
We had a treasure hunt, complete with detailed maps, that led to a pinata in the basement. The kids loved swingin' away . . . but the darn thing would not break! Finally, Alex took a whack and everyone descended on the goods!
Happy birthday sweet boy! I love you!
