I decided to skip his well check-up this year. He goes to the doctor so often for diabetes related appointments, and this whole past year was wrought with ear infection appointments. I figured since yearly check-ups were recommended until age 5 at which point the pediatrician said to come back every year to two years, I'd take the two year route and give Michael a break.
He's just over 60 pounds and is four feet tall. He's a big boy.
He wears size 8 clothing and a size 2 shoe in big kid sizing.
He designed his own birthday party. His invitation has Ice Kirby on it, and his party decorations were Super Mario and Pokemon and Pac-man. All combined, we dubbed it a Super Smash Brothers Party. We sent invitations to family, and some of his friends from church and his entire class at school.
Our family friend C came, as well as K from church, and we had one classmate (also a K) come too. We held his party on Sunday afternoon of this past week. Aaron & I bought and borrowed some outdoor games (ladder golf, horseshoes, ring toss) for the kids to play with outside. One grandma got Michael the board game "Guess Who?" so this was also played at the party. His little friend from school got him a Dinosaur Fossil Kit, and the kids had a great time chipping away the clod of dirt to reveal a dino bone, dino poop, and a dino tooth.
Michael planned his menu, which included chili dogs (because Sonic the Hedgehog likes those), Pac-man cookies (made by Aaron's stepmom), cheese puff balls (to represent fireballs from Mario), and a confetti cake (made to look like Pokemon stadium from Super Smash Brothers). Each kid took home a little bag filled with Mario trinkets and a small Kirby toy.
On his actual birthday, he was chomping at the bit to go to school because his teacher gives kids a Pixi-Stick on their birthday and he couldn't wait!
For dinner that night, he got to choose what we ate and he chose Marco's veggie pizza.
He told me over and over that it was the best birthday ever!
It's hard to get a picture of him these days because he's so busy, but I just love him to pieces.
Until Next Time,
Much love, Reba
