Exciting day today in our household, my youngest has his 5th birthday today
.
He was soooo happy this morning, coming down the stairs, then he had to wait a minute outside the dinging room (till I had lit the candles on his B-day cake), and then of course he rushed in
.
I just did the math: this is the 26th time I celebrate a birthday with my kids (12+9+5), but it's still amazing at what speed they are able to rip off the paper from the presents
. It's always the same ritual: rip off, take a one-second look at it, then on to the next present, occasionally accompanied by a squeal. But after all things are open, they take their time to take everything in and inspect every present.
In one hour the hardest part (for us adults) begins: children's birthday party
. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's over this evening
.
But it's so worth it: my little one has the best time today, you won't believe how happy he is
