Turner turned 7 on the 9th. Instead of having a birthday party, he opted to have an "All About Him" day. So the Saturday after his birthday, that is what we did. On his birthday, I sent yo yo's for him to give each of his friends in class. You can no longer send in cupcakes or anything edible. I heard the yo yo's were a hit.
That night we had family over for pizza and brownies. He had fun with his cousins. Then Saturday was just for him. He planned and thought about this day for months. We began with a trip to Donut Box to pick up some breakfast. Then daddy took T and M to the Office Depot. Turner has a space in the toy room that is referred to as his office. He spends a lot of time there. He loves to get organized, make lists, play school, anything that involves sitting at a desk. So he wanted to pick up a few supplies. Maddie has made herself an office space upstairs and she had still had some Christmas money, so she tagged along to do the same.
After that I took Turner by himself to the mall. He wanted to ride the carousel, and go to Build a Bear. This boy loves him a stuffed animal. It was nice having the one on one time and letting him decide what we did. After that we went home to get the rest of the family. His dinner of choice was Genghis Grill. My kiddos love some Genghis!
He had a great day and felt special all day long. He is our sensitive, particular, loving big boy! He is such a big helper, can have the worst temper, be so sweet to Harper yet horrible to Maddie, responsible, at times complicated, but our very favorite son:) Our family wouldn't be complete without him and can't wait to see what God has in store for him. Happy 7th Birthday Turner Man!
