From the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed, today was a special birthday for Payton. He awoke this morning to the kitchen table decorated with Thomas balloons, a birthday cake and a few little gifts. Of course we had to continue the Clements tradition of eating birthday cake and toast for breakfast on his birthday (boy, does he like this tradition!). After school and a good nap, he got to open a few more little gifts (see picture of the whoopie cushion) and choose where we went for dinner. Of course he chose the fine dining establishment called "Chuck E. Cheese." (Sidenote: why do kids love this place so much?!? It's dirty, loud, and the pizza is terrible... but I digress...)
After we got home from Chuck E. Cheese he got to have more cake - this time with candles in it and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung in two very different keys by his loving parents.
Now it's time for my big 4-year-old to head off to bed. I cannot believe it's been 4 years since I was in the hospital and got to see his precious face for the first time. As my Aunt Cheryl recently said, "Don't blink, it will all go by so fast"... boy is she right. Happy Birthday my precious angel.
