Reid's Party at school








Today was Reid's actual 5th birthday.

He started his morning off by sleeping in (go figure). A boy who NEVER sleeps in, does so on his birthday as well as a school day! But trust me, I let him sleep.

He awoke to mommy letting him have chocolate milk (a rare treat for him) followed by Dad's famous pancakes. We then got ready and rushed off to school.

I took special cookies to his class that looked like lions for him to share with his friends. No, I didn't make them. I had a friend of a friend make them for him.

Reid's teacher gives everyone a special day at school to celebrate their birthday. Reid's was of course today. As you can see, he got to wear a special hat/crown all day long! He was the line leader and made to feel so special all day long. At the end of the day, Mommy got to go to his class while he shared his cookies and juice. He got to sit in the teacher's chair as everyone sang happy birthday to him! You can see from his expression that he was a bit embarrassed, but loved every minute of it. We then passed out the cookies, ate them and then packed up to go home.

I hear that he had 2 girls squabbling over who was going to marry Reid one day. His teacher said that the little girls kind of migrate to him and follow him. It drives him CRAZY. Course his Daddy told him to get used to it. You see, he is like his Daddy and his Daddy told him that that happened to him his whole life. Can you just hear Bry telling him that?? Reid doesn't struggle with self esteem that's for sure.

After school, Justin came over to play. Then we had dinner at Gatti Town. Isn't Ella and her friend Haley so cute together? They had a ball chasing each other and crawling all over the games. It was cute.

I know..where are the pictures of Reid and Cole and Justin at GT? Do you really think that those boys were going to sit still long enough for me to get their picture?? Not a chance. There was way too much fun to be had by all!
