Birthday Boy
Tyler turned 8 on Tuesday! He has been counting down for his birthday for months! Monday night he was so excited before he went to bed. When he woke up in the morning he was so happy. I took donuts to his school because that was what he wanted for his treat. Deborah picked him and Gregory up from school and brought another snack for the afternoon. She took them to the mall and let Tyler pick out some Yugio and Pokeman cards and then they ate. For his birthday celebration I asked him what he wanted instead of cake because I know he doesn't like cake. So he said the only thing he wanted was ice cream. Vanilla ice cream. What a weirdo. Of course I got him what he wanted but just to make I t interesting I got all the things to make a sundae. I got sprinkles, gummy bears, m&m's, chocolate syrup, cherries and that magic shell stuff. Remember that? I love that stuff. Of course Tyler only wanted sprinkles and gummy bears. OK. I stuck a candle in his ice cream and we sang him happy birthday like that. Scott, Pete, Matt, Lilly, Deborah, Gregory and Jeff were all there with him for his birthday. I thought that was nice. He seemed really happy. He got a ton of great gifts and read all of his cards. He was thrilled to see he got the Heely's he had been wanting. He got a ton of things. Jeff and Deborah got him all the Pokeman games for his gameboy only because Tyler told Gregory he asked for one game and Gregory said he had all the games. So of course Deborah calls Jeff and tells him and they get him every game because they don't want Gregory to be making fun of Tyler. Tyler was so happy when he saw the games. It was cute. Pete got him the ipod he has been wanting and a bat he picked out so he was happy about that. When he opened the ipod he yelled out in Spanish. It's the Mexican in him! Matt got him a PSP game and Scott got him a baseball glove. He got some money in the mail from Edith and Tabor and also a TON of Yugio and Pokeman cards from Steve. When he opened that gift even Gregory was amazed by all the cards. He even got one pack in Spanish! As for Scott's gift, it was kind of funny because of course he didn't wrap it and it was way too big for Tyler so he was like what is this?!? But overall he liked everything and was really happy.
The night before his birthday we went to my dad's to celebrate because my dad was going out of town the next day. Tyler went swimming and then opened his gifts from my dad and Lilly. He got a baseball trainer thing and a new shirt. He was happy about the baseball thing, it will help him work on his swing. For dinner we had shrimp and crab and it was so good. We had a cookie cake and then everyone played kick ball. I know, it sounds funny but Tyler had 10 people out in my dads front yard playing kick ball. It was pretty fun actually. The funny thing was that Twix was on our team and while guarding 3rd base he bit 3 people! He is ferocious! Right. And don't try saying he is an ankle biter because he did bite about knee level. Tyler honestly had the time of his life. He had come up with this master plan that he wanted to play kick ball and I thought no one would go for it but everyone cooperated and had a fun time. Tyler was so happy. Of course our team won. (We might have had a little bit of an advantage with the birthday boy on our team.)
Overall his birthday was great. He got everything he asked for and then some. He still has his party to come on Saturday so the birthday fun continues....
