Wow. Five years have flown by and our little baby boy ain’t so little any more!
Sebastian had a great birthday, waking up at 6:30AM and running into the living room to see his gifts. We rolled our lazy butts out of bed and watched as he tore them open. He seemed to like the scooter, but I feel bad that the monorail toy we ordered won’t arrive until this Wednesday — the picture I printed to show him it was on the way was sadly pixelated and I don’t know that he grasped completely the intent. Oh well, he’ll be happy come Wednesday. I had to go to work shortly after but he & AM went to Nick’s Cafe for a huge breakfast (he had a pancake sandwich: 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and a piece of AM’s toast!) then headed to Target to spend Ma & Pa’s gift card. He spent HOURS carefully examining all of the toy offerings, finally settling on a toy vacuum cleaner for $15 — his eyes lit up and he was ready to head straight home & clean… but I showed up and instead we had an early birthday dinner at Islands first. Once we got home we opened the package and, much like our recent experience with our real vacuum, the damn thing was broken. So yesterday we spent ANOTHER day at Target as Sebastian went too and fro trying to see if he had changed his mind on his choice. He didn’t. We exchanged it, went to Whole Foods for a quick bite & some groceries & headed for home. And vacuumed. Every room. And this morning, too. All in all it’s been a good birthday. Plus the carpet is clean.
Thanks to all for the gifts & cards & such! And Happy Birthday (again) Sebastian! We love you!
