Jeffrey's 4th Birthday
When Jeffrey and I arrived at his class we were surprised by his classmates as they sang Happy Birthday (in English!) to him. They then crowded around him with their gifts and he proceeded to open them. As he opened each gift (which were all cars... 10 of them) he would lift them over his head and say "Mira! Mira!" (Look! Look!). The whole class would then cheer and give him hugs. I was so proud of my son at that point because I realized he has been learning how to interact with his friends with kindness. And I was touched by the generosity that was shown to Jeffrey from all the parents and children of his class.
Karen, Lily (our helper), Joanna (Jeffrey's Sunday school teacher), Jasmine and myself went to the school at 9 am and prepared a party for Jeffrey and his class. During the party the kids watched a video, sang, played games, ate food from Burger King, busted open a pinata, and played in the playground. Jeffrey was so excited because finally it was his turn to blow out the candle of the birthday cake.
We came home and Jeffrey opened up his present from mom and dad (12 metal fighter jets). We must have chosen correctly because he has not let them out of his site since he received them. I found him on the floor in his room at 12 midnight playing with all of his planes. This morning Karen gave him 10 of the planes and Jeffrey immediately asked where the blue and the red ones were... apparently, the night before, he had memorized each plane.
In the afternoon we went to a park so that Jeffrey could ride his bike. Halfway through we stopped at a "fire" tower and Jeffrey and I climbed to the top. He referred to the tower as the "tower of power," which I came to learn is a reference from "Backyardigans."
We then went to McDonalds and met up with his friend Caleb Schell, Uncle Forest and Aunt Sara, Josiah, and Uncle Bob and Aunt Brenda.
We topped off our night with a video chat with Grandma and Grandpa Spurling. Jeffrey was able to show them all the neat toys he received for his birthday.
I was really glad that we dedicated yesterday to Jeffrey. We all had a great time as a family.
