On Monday Sawyer celebrated a milestone- he is now 3 1/2 years old! It’s silly, but yes, we celebrate 1/2 birthdays. He knew his 1/2 birthday was coming up and he was excited.

I think the best part for him was celebrating at school with his friends. He talked about singing the birthday song at his school all day. He took cheese (shaped like Mickey Mouse) and Ritz crackers and mini strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for snack to share with his class.
Since his birthday is in the summer he’ll never be able to bring in a treat to share with his class, so we’ll continue celebrating his 1/2 birthday so he can celebrate with his school friends. Both Dan and my birthdays are in the summer too, so we never got to bring in cupcakes to share with our classes growing up.

I was pleasantly surprised and happy with how Avery handled all the attention and gifts Sawyer received throughout the day. In the past she’s had an “what do I get?” attitude when he gets anything and she doesn’t. She was genially happy and excited for him. SHe’s growing up…
