Comments for Five Years Old

Marine LifeFive Years Old: 08/21/07

Yesterday we celebrated Sean's fifth birthday. His school allows birthday cakes so we got two Boston creams with fresh strawberries on top. That was enough for the entire school to enjoy Sean's birthday. We also had to put together a photographic record of Sean's life for him to share with his class during circle time. Sean had also found his old baby memory book from his first day care and took that to share. At the start of the party the birthday boy or girl walks around the sun to symbolize aging by another year. Sean was really looking forward to his chance to go around the sun.

Being his birthday, he was up and bouncing around the house at 7:30 while I was settling into my morning work routine. Usually I have the upstairs to myself until about 8 but not yesterday!

After school we took Sean out to dinner. While service was a little less than par, the food was still good and we had a nice time. Sean's choice for dinner was the Baker's Square near his school in Castro Valley. They've been watching him grow since he wasn't much older than Harriet.

Then we went home for presents. Sean had two lovely cards from his grandma Val and his great-grandpa Eddie. Tonight Sean used his gift money from great-grandpa to buy his first ever set of school supplies (he's really excited about kindergarten starting in September). We got Sean two books: one about flowers since he's such an enthusiastic gardener and one about the solar system. The solar system book is also a series of puzzles that fit into the book. These are Sean's first jigsaw puzzles and are an instant hit. Also he got two more Pokémon DVDs from fist season and a whole bunch of new socks.
