With all that is going on lately, we have not paid much attention to Connor’s birthday.  But Connor remembered well that his birthday was coming; he had been reminding us that it would be “Connor B’s birthday”.  On his birthday 7/25/13 morning, he even told me “Happy Birthday to Me”, and the rest of the day he was singing his own birthday song.  He was so excited. 

    We managed to do a low key celebration for Connor that evening.  We took them to Chuck E Cheese after school per Connor’s request.  Logan loved the driving and shooting games while Connor liked a variety.  Connor sometimes just enjoyed holding a coin and walking around to look for a machine that he liked.  Connor was scared to see Chuckie and wanted us to hold him every time he passed by.  We left the place two hours later to go home for Connor’s favorite ice cream cake.  The apartment was still not unpacked then and we could not find a lighter for the candle.  We sang the song to Connor, and we pretended to blow the candle.  Connor was so excited to eat the cake; he kept saying “yummy in my tummy” as he enjoyed every bite.

    I have forgotten about the school birthday celebration, so the teacher suggested that they would do a little circle time for Connor on 7/26/13.  At the end of the day, Connor told me that the class sang a birthday song to him, but I did not hear any more details about it.
