Ahoy Mateys!

Today we celebrated Nolan's birthday with a pirate party. This was the 1st time he has ever had a birthday party with friends and he was so excited. The first words out of his mouth this morning were "Today is my friend birthday party!".  Two friends from school came and of course the BFF, Quinn. Here are a few pictures of his mateys enjoying their treasure hunt, pirate battles, and of course ... cake.  

 

 

  

 

Correction...

 

He hasn't been seeing the world so clearly up until this point but now...he is.After picking up the glasses, Nolan stared at Quinn the entire ride home as if he had never really seen him before. I wonder what else he will see more clearly now.

The 'baby' turns ....

See, I can't even say it!  Let's just leave it at he is another year older and I can hardly take it. When the boys were both little and  home all day  the days would often drag by and I was sure many of them would never end.  Now, in what seems like the blink of an eye,  I officially have no one who could be mistaken for a "little" kid. It is strange how we can long for something so much and then be sad to see it arrive. Goodbye crazy preschool days, you will be missed... mostly. :)
