Happy Birthday Kyson

Four years ago, I went through an incredibly painful recovery after childbirth to bring my beautiful baby boy into the world. While he's no perfect child, I love him dearly and can't imagine my life without this precious boy. Sure, he is difficult to understand, doesn't always make sense, and can be socially awkward, he has stolen the hearts of many and hopefully he'll outgrow my previous list. Planning his birthday party this year has proven to be challenging because it seems like everyone is always busy. We managed to find a date that worked for a few, so we're hoping all can come - but it's over two weeks after his birthday. Because of this delay, we decided to take him to McDonald's for dinner and have a "tiny party" with his BFFs, the girls next door. He always wants to play with them and even though they may get annoyed by him, they're such good sports to hang out with him and make him feel special. We had ice cream and sang "Happy Birthday," but that really was about it. The girls were so nice to come over for him. After then left, we opened cards from his great grandma's (big grandmas as Kyson would call them), and then raced off to bed. It was a small way to celebrate a 4-year-old's birthday, but the big party will come soon enough. Hopefully it will be worth the wait for him.
