It's Master Hardwick's 5th birthday (1,819 days alive, eh!? who feels old now?!)! Overall, it was a great day. He had cupcakes and a crown at school. We had cupcakes at home. He wore the crown for most of the day, and boy is it's sweaty, but he got lots of good wishes from strangers that he thought was pretty cool. He got two LeapPad cartridges, three packs of Pokemon (which we think has a math component to it), and a scooter (which I'm not sure was the right one). He wanted to go to the burger joint in town for dinner, and I wanted the traditional ice cream for dessert, so that all worked out well. He got a real charge out of knowing exactly when he was born, as he was eating a hamburger, and hearing a brief recap of his birth. He got to goof with dad online for a long time. But, he dropped his LeapPad on the floor and wasn't carrying it in his "murse," so I flew off the handle, and he had to sit and think for 5 minutes. A nice cool bath calmed everyone down, and then both kiddos were off to bed.
