Landon's 5th Birthday

For weeks Landon has been counting down to July 22nd. To turn 5 according to Landon meant that you were officially a big boy. The night before his birthday he couldn't fall asleep. I went in to check on him after bedtime and he balled up his fists and  excitedly told me he can't sleep because tomorrow he was going to be the birthday boy. I was so happy for him, until 6am rolled around and he came in my room about 2 inches from my face to ask me if he could open up presents. It was still dark out silly boy. I let him crawl in bed with me and we waited until we could hear Liam waking up. Or more like screaming and jumping up and down in his crib. When we came downstairs he was excited to see his the kitchen decorated in a Spiderman theme along with his cake and presents. When his school friend Thomas came over we had cake and and showed him his big present from us. He was thrilled to see his new battery operated car. We let him pull off the tarp and drive his brother around the back yard. So this year instead of throwing him a party we decided to take him to Sea World and let him chose a friend to take. This would have been a great idea if it wasn't triple digits that day. After 5 hours the kids with their red sweaty faces were begging us to leave. Cameron and I decided to go shortly after that. I think the temperature in the car said it was 104 degrees! Landon was excited to leave anyways because all he wanted to do was put his new Spiderman costume on and drive his new car. Even with the heat it was a fun day and my little boy got to feel so special on his big day.
