Yes David

Today, Jared is at cub scout day camp and David has to miss all of the fun so we declared it to be "Yes David" day....... within reason. Obviously, we can't fly to Disneyland (his first request). We have been busy all day with visiting the library, his grandparents, and playing board games. We got really lucky and happened to show up at McDonalds when Ronald McDonald was there.



I think clowns are freaky, but I'm also an excellent actress :) Ronald McDonald felt bad that David didn't get a book (I guess they were handing them out for free) so he went and got us cookies. He was also kind enough to pose while I pulled out my cell phone and took a picture. By the way David talks about this experience, it is possible that Santa Clause is nobody compared to Ronald McDonald. He wanted a poster for his bedroom..... this is where I draw the line. Thank heavens McDonalds doesn't sell freaky pictures of clowns.

David's next request is a hula hooping contest. I always beat him, but it's his day so maybe he'll get lucky.

Growing too fast!

More than seven years ago, I jokingly told Larry that I would have a baby on his birthday. Seven years ago today, I actually did. I say it every year, but it's amazing how fast time flies! This year, he got to celebrate his birthday at school - that's is a rarity for a kid whose birthday is 11 days into June.... at least around here. The only bummer is that because it was the last day of school and things were busy for everyone, his class didn't sing to him and even David forgot to mention that it was his birthday. Oh well, he didn't seem too upset by it.

It was a special treat to have some cousins over that we don't see too often, he had more kids to celebrate with. His grandma turned one of his gifts into a treasure hunt, he loved that. I'm sure he'll be busy with his new gifts for awhile, especially his outdoor toys. I think Larry and David enjoyed their birthdays.



Once in awhile, I catch David in the right mood and he lights up my camera. It's becoming more rare with both of my boys, maybe I'm burning them out with being their own personal paparazzi. :)
