Billy wasn’t so concerned about counting down to his birthday, but Rusty was. Once his own birthday was over, Rusty’s new daily question was “How many days ’til Billy’s birthday, Momma?” He didn’t seem to care how many days until MY birthday … I see how he is!
Billy’s birthday was on a Friday and I had to be gone for dinner that night, so Kevin fixed some good old macaroni and cheese with Cosmic Brownies for dessert. I made it up on Saturday night by bringing home pizza and red sauce (marinara sauce) and Kevin whipped up some scrumptious brownies.
Billy was very excited that I was going to bring treats to his class at school and that I got to read a story to the class. It was supposed to be his favorite story, but he currently says that is “Harry Potter.” I didn’t think a chapter book was the best idea, so I read “The Boy Who Cried Ninja” instead. Billy was cool with it.
Billy had his well check just before his birthday. He came in at 45 pounds and 3 ounces (20th percentile) and 46.7 inches tall (30th percentile).
The boys all knew exactly what they wanted to give Billy. Ricky wanted to give him a video game and settled on Harry Potter for the Wii.
Rusty wanted to give him a kendama (ball on a string that you flip into a cup type toy) because Billy gave Rusty one for his birthday, but Billy always played with it. Rusty wanted to give Billy his own so he would leave his alone!
Tommy went to the story with me and picked out a playdough fun factory. I think he just wanted it for himself, but Billy seemed to like it.
Billy got several other presents that he very much enjoyed. And, as always, he gave some great facial expressions as he opened them!
This boy is a character and I adore him. I’ve known since he was six months old, though, that he would be the death of me! He has that smile and knows how to get himself out of most any situation. There are lots of positives with that kind of personality, but he keeps me on my toes. Everybody loves Billy and Billy pretty much loves everybody. He’s always looking for a hug and a kiss! He is a ball of energy and goes goes goes. He’s very bright, but he does things on his own schedule and his own way. He loves the journey just as much as reaching the destination. I just love my Sir Billiam.
Let’s remember my #2 Baby …
