ravencallscrowsA little boy only turns five once. But occasionally he gets presents for his birthday on three separate days. First last Sunday, when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wilson_lizard and S. came up for his (postponed) party. They brought alexander a really neat blue cloak. :-) :-)
Then today- his actual birthday. Grandma and Grandpa came down from Mt. Vernon with an earth-mover type toy, a horseshoes set, and a sandbox (complete with cover, so it won't become litterbox for our- and the rest of the neighbourhood's- cats. He also got a LeapPad Quantum from us (to replace his old LeapPad, which wasn't working anymore), and a wonderful book of crafty outdoorsy things for boys fromgwynn_aaron and ithilien.
We also had a trip to make to the Eastside to pick up a kids' play workbench and tools whichdamashita found on Craig's List for $5- at which price it was a must present. And while we were out, we stopped at Build-A-Bear Workshop and he made his own special birthday bear.
This Sunday is his rescheduled birthday party- a handful of his friends and their parents will be coming down from the valley, andwilson_lizard and S. will be coming up from west of Olympia- and we'll have the grand fête.
And, as he so happily noted two weeks ago today, nicholas is the first guest at his party. He's been such a sweet big brother it's unbelievable.
Oh, yes- and a slightly belated Happy Birthday tohottoastermama's son Jonah- we meant to call last night, but realized that by the time we got around to doing so that it was far too late to call a little person three time zones later than us.
