Fisher Had A Birthday, Shout Hooray!

It's been almost two weeks, but hey, he can't complain that it's taken me this long to post about it since he celebrated his birthday for about 10 days.

It began a week before his birthday when Jarad took Fisher during spring break to get him a new bike. Problem is, Fisher was very excited to ride it as a two-wheeler (as in no training wheels), so Jarad took them off. Now the bike sits in the garage unless Jarad is around to help Fisher get more accustomed to riding on two wheels...

Then we had a classroom party and a family celebration on his actual birthday. I made a cake and let Fisher and Emma decorate it however they wanted. It was, um, creative. Emma did the writing. And much of the sparkle-dumping. He got mail, cards, gifts and phone calls all day long from family and friends. Finally, at the end of the day after he hung up the phone with his final caller, he said "whew, I sure am FAMOUS today!"




That Saturday he had about ten little boys over for an afternoon of crazy bounce housing, cupcake decorating and ice cream sundaes. It was the greatest party! I didn't have to decorate a cake. It was all outside. And all I had to do was provide an endless supply of drinks for those sweaty little guys who bounced (almost) the whole time. Most of the kids had been on Fisher's baseball team, which Jarad co-coached, so the boys thought it was the most fun to play catch with coach.


Bluebeard - it was a pirate party...
In all, a successful birthday for my funnyman Fisher. For all the screaming and headbanging he did as a baby, and all the scary health issues we have had with him, he is totally making up for it in his hilarity as he gets older. We love him tons!
