We did a lot of celebrating over the weekend, but we couldn’t just let Dylan’s actual birthday just sail on by! This morning (errrr, yesterday morning), he woke up a bit early and Tom stayed a little later so that we could sing happy birthday to him and let him open the presents from us (some Gears and a Thomas the Train game).
As you can see, he woke up in a great mood! But, he was tired and he didn’t want to go to school (this happens often when something special is happening and he thinks the day will be different from all others!)…he actually cried and ran to the other side of the car as soon as we arrived at preschool!
I was feeling a bit blue about having to leave him in such a state on his birthday (of all days!), but as soon as we walked in, all of the teachers regaled him with “happy birthday” greetings and he immediately perked up! When I came to pick him up in the afternoon, he was wearing a crown that he’d decorated during the day. He was all smiles and ready to head out to dinner at the Train Deli (where Eaen celebrated his third birthday!)!
Assaf and Taliana (Heather was teaching) met us at the deli for dinner, and Dylan and Taliana had fun watching the trains go by and just romping around together!
