Yep, it's my birthday today. How crazy is this birthday, so many 8's! And how am I 28 already!?! It's just crazy how time flies. I don't feel like I'm in my late 20's. Well, on most days. As most of you know, I am spending this birthday alone, well, except for Lucas. My two special people are going for military training at the same time. It's okay though. We did early celebrations and I surprisingly woke up very cheerful. The day can only be what I make of it, right? So when Lucas woke up I told him to say happy birthday, so he was the first one to technically tell me happy birthday today. Michael called me early, to be the first to tell me. I received a lot of calls, emails, messages from people, which made me feel good. Thank you everybody. Today just Lucas and I hung out. We played around the house all morning, doing the usual (toys, babies, bike rides, etc.). He also took a bath this morning. He was in the bathroom and said bubbles and I thought why not? He usually gets a bath before bed but I think he just wanted to play in the water. This afternoon we were playing outside and I thought we'd have more fun at a real park, so we headed down to Mill Race Park. He had a blast. He spent the most time on the tallest, twirly slide and these big seat swings. He did not want to go, but we were there for 2 hours and thought we should head home. He fussed a little but gave in. He usually tries to get his way but when he realizes it's not going to happen he's okay. We picked up a few items at the store and then went home. He rode his bike for a little bit, helped me pick some weeds, and repot a plant. Then we went inside to make the birthday cake. He's the best little helper, just loves doing everything. We had McDonald's for dinner. I didn't feel like cooking and I can do what I want, it's my birthday. :) After dinner we sang happy birthday and ate cake. I recorded it on video and put it on the computer and Lucas had to watch it about 20 times, over and over, clapping at the end every time. I think he was just so amused that he blew out the candles. Bathtime went well, until he noticed an ouwy on his hand and knee. Then he was done, almost inconsolable. Same thing happened last night too. I wonder if he's just so tired from so much activity each day, everday, that by the end he's done. He probably needs a good break. I guess that will come next week, because I think he's going to be playing with Abby again tomorrow. He misses her already. When we were in the store he kept calling her name. I told him she was at home and he'd tell me no, and continue calling out for her. He's funny. Well, I'm sure I'm missing some details from today, but I'm pretty tired myself. This birthday girl is ready for bed.
