Birthday Morning

A joyful awakening by Big Sis. Ty, at this point, is wondering "WHHHAT??" as we all come in with hats and singing. Marie was up at 5:45 in anticipation. Ty quickly decided this is something he could get into and started to want in on the celebration right away! Smart Boy.

"ELMO HAT!"

Dressed and ready to celebrate. Still needs to keep hands-on hat; very pro-hat.

Ty gets to sit at a big chair and not in his high chair. Thought that was very cool indeed. He and Marie started to day with enormous choc chip muffins (thank you honey for going to the store at 9:45 last night). Ty gets the Birthday plates. Marie pointed that out to him and then went and served him water. I was not allowed to touch the water; had to be her.

Ty got to open one gift this morning and Marie wanted it to be the one from her. He was tickled to see some familiar faces as she gave him a Big Bird video and a soft little Elmo doll. Ty immediately squeezed the Elmo doll in various places, expecting it to laugh. No, buddy, this is a boring quiet Elmo that you just hug.

Now he is at daycare and Marie is home from school, napping. She made him a card at school and "Is SO excited for my brother's birthday because I love him SO much!"

Yes, and that deal she made with him at breakfast to let her blow out one of his two candles so they could both have a birthday wish.
