I had his Daniel Tiger shirt on the dresser and part of it was hanging over the edge. He immediately saw it and said, "Tiger!?" I told him to go get it and he brought it back into the bed with a big smile on his face! Even if I smeared the transfer a little, it didn't matter to him and that made me so happy!
The funny thing was his presents were also on the dresser and he totally ignored those!
Later when I brought the presents out though, he knew exactly what to do! He was much faster at unwrapping this year too! From Mommy and Daddy he got, "Mr. Brown Can Moo. Can You?", A VTech App toy, a tent and a doctor's kit. He also got word puzzles and, "Let's Dance Little Pookie" from Aunt Rachel and Uncle Micah!
He hasn't even gotten presents from the grandparents yet, but this boy was in heaven.
The doctor's kit and V-Tech toys are big hits. He loves his books too! He walked around all day giving anything and everything a shot. Listened to our heartbeats and checked his blood pressure! The little tablet kept him entertained for long periods of time too. Always nice to have some new toys to play with!
I decided we should go out for a meal today, so we went to Krieger's for supper. I mean...we go out for our birthdays, so it just makes sense to take the kiddo out for his too...right? Haha!
The food was yummy and Daniel did such a nice job. Not so much with eating, but he was a good boy. He ate a little bit, but I wasn't too upset because he ate a TON at breakfast and lunch.
Our waitress came over and handed us our bill when we were about halfway done with the meal. Then a little bit later she came over and asked if Daniel could have a sundae? How sweet of her! It was totally free of charge...and of course he ate almost all of that! (Although I did polish off the last few bites!)
In the meantime, there was a man sitting in the booth behind us who had been there before we arrived. He was eating alone and when he finished he stopped at our table and complimented us on how well behaved Daniel was. It made both of our nights! Of course, he isn't always that good, but we try to teach him how to behave when we go out, and it was just nice to hear a stranger say we were doing a good job. :)
The only bummer of the night was realizing I left my leftovers on the table! Dang! So much for lunch tomorrow.
We came home and played more with his new toys and then got ready for bed. He actually got a little upset when I took his "Tiger" shirt off!
Only 3 days of work this week! Wednesday when Jacob gets home from school we're off to Iowa!
Glad you had another fun birthday day for Daniel. His shirt looks great on him! I was always glad our kids were good in public even though they were naughty at home, because that showed me we were doing something right. Because I'd rather they misbehave at home than in public. So good job mom and dad. :)
