Happy Birthday Titus!

This year Titus didn't have a birth"day" as much as a birth"week".

It started the Thursday before.  On Thursday we went on a "school" trip to LegoLand with a bunch of friends (more on that in another post).

Friday, we took the day off school and enjoyed a true day of lounging around, I even got to lay around read a book and relax.  Everyone was in a great mood to just chill. Can't remember such a peaceful day.

On Saturday, one of the boys favorite show personalities, Martin and Chris from "Wild Kratts" were at Sea World so we had to go.  Boys had fun, but I'm glad we had a second motivation for going, we got to meet our friends from TN again before they left.

Each of my friends boys paired up perfectly with each of my own.  They ran about the habit trail and rides in pairs.  The remiss attendant at the mini-roller coaster even let Titus and Levi ride by themselves.  I was worried they might get scared, but Titus was fearless as usual.

After saying sad farewells to our friends.  We still had a few days left in the week.  Which we filled with cake with friends and a great afternoon with Grandpa Bob,shooting the BB gun and hearing stories.

A busy birthday week, was an appropriate way to finish off quite the busy year for Titus.

Did I mention he's an individual.

He is a great helper, when I make smoothie, go shopping, or walk the dog.

A great big brother and playmate to his little sister.

He ready to hang with the big boys, and keeps up remarkably well.

He learns in his own time and his own way, which is only way he does anything.  He is an individual.  He likes to learn best when it involves, blocks, cars, Legos or especially sports.

He is a born athlete, in addition to his new year feat of eliminating his training wheels, he has successful participated in quite a few other sports.

He runs.

He swims. 

He bowls.

He golfs and often wins the contests against kids much older.  Just the other week he won the driving contest and when the coach asked him to do a quick speech about how he won he said "I hit the ball harder than Eva."  There you go, simple Titus logic. 

He plays tennis and rather well.  He was moved up with the 5-6 year old kids by his coach this month and is still among the best in the class at both tennis and listening.  He has quite a powerful and fairly accurate swing.  

I adore that awesome smile!

The other day at tennis class the coach asked them to tell how long they'd been playing tennis and what their favorite color was as a way to introduce a few new kids.  Titus said "Fifteen years and green."  That would be another charming part of Titus, his active imagination which includes his own language and concept of time.  For instance a banana is a "bowana" and "last year" means yesterday.  It's rather cute because Titus is rather cute.

We love you more than you can imagine Titus, and can't wait to see all the wonderful things you will do this year!
