My little boy (well he's never really been little in the traditional sense but little to me) who they questioned if he would reach six months has hit 216 months today and is still going strong. People wonder why I'm not big into doctors or statistics, but I digress :-)
The celebration of my beautiful boy's birthday started out early with William coming over and bringing a new WW2 game. It took them two hours to read the instructions but for these two WW2 fans it was fun all the same.
Later in the week he was able to put together his new COBI set, the long awaited Battleship Bismark. Amazingly it took a couple days to complete, there were so many pieces.
Throughout the week everyone played Memoir '44 with him and most of us more than once. Notice I said "us". As a birthday gift I finally sat down with him and learned to play, I even came back for more the next day.
In the evenings of his birthday week he got to choose the movies. We watched Midway for the first time on the new TV and Sully to name a few favorites.
At the dance on Saturday, the whole group sang him Happy Birthday as a surprise!
Today, his actual birthday, was spent in the traditional manner.... ball pelting to "Celebration", french toast breakfast, and pizza and spice cake for dinner.
This has been quite the year for Jared, a lot of big items checked off his life list (graduation, black-belt, employment, etc.). His creativity and entrepreneurial focus continue to amaze and the dojang has honed in his people and leadership skills. We are so proud of the young man he is today. Can't wait to see what he adds and completes on his list in the coming year.
