I Have Been a Mom for a DECADE!!!!

Dude turned 10 in March. I tried to tell him that I was vetoing this birthday because I am not old enough to have a ten year old. He didn't buy it, so we went ahead with the celebration. He actually had 3 celebrations this year. Doctor had to go to Chicago the week of his birthday, so we celebrated his birthday as a family early. We went out to dinner and Dude looks like he didn't enjoy the bell ringing, shouting, and ice cream, but he did.
We came home and opened presents. Thanks to everyone! You guys are all great!!! He got an ipod from us, but not before Doctor game him a yellow pad that had "Dude's ipad" written on it.


The day of his actual birthday we went to Mexican (his choice). He was so sad about Doctor not being there, that he couldn't eat. It was super sad. I had him stay home from school that day too, because he was so sad. It was heartbreaking.

Last week we had his friend party. We had pizza, played four square and flag football and video games. It was a great time.

Happy Birthday, Dude, I love you so much!!! You rock!!!
