the King celebrates his birthday

Birthdays are magical.
The entire day just feels special & different.
Even the mundane chores are pleasant.
I have perma-smile.

So did he.

Meeskii helps Bugg hunt for his gifts.

I cherish our simple, sweet traditions.
They mean more to me than
huge parties and expensive gifts.
Like when we all went into Bugg's
room in the morning
and sang Happy B-day.
Eating donuts and chocolate milk
for breakfast.
I loved staying up late the night before
to make his crown.
Planning favorite meals.
Hiding presents.
Decorating in & outside
the house on b-day eve.

4 donuts for the 4 year old!

His teacher shares Bugg's day, too!
She got the balloons.
Special Bugg delivery.

Preschool GRADUATION!
Yes, I'd been bawling.
I will post about this soon,
as it was truly unforgettable.

I have wishes for my boy.
Not to walk or talk.
I may have made those wishes
in past years.
Now I have much
bigger wishes than those.
Some are already coming true.
Like having him touch the world!
Thank you, Bugg readers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bugg got another set of wheels.
Awesome. Awesome.
Oh, the places we'll go with this!

We had wonderful visitors all day.
Grandpas & Grandmas.
Aunts, cousins, friends.
They brought fun gifts.
Thank you!
We were just getting ready to dig
in to Martha's amazing baked ravioli
(Bugg got to use the special red plate),
when the famous & lovely Miss Britt came over.
She brought a sweet sensory gift, too.
And do you know what?
We get to keep her next year!
We found out on his birthday,
what a gift!
It must have been the cookies.
Crazy cool.
Then we took off for some
roller skatin'.

All 5 of us got to roll.

Wyatt's life is a present to me,
to us.
I sometimes wonder about how he & I
ended up together.
And how the Hunk, Meeskii, and Rooskii
are with us, too.
I bet we were friends in heaven
before we came to earth.
We loved each other so much that
we couldn't be apart
so God blessed us to find each other
in this life.
I'm infinitely glad & grateful!
