Near the end of November we celebrated Daniel's birthday.
Melanie made the cake and let Daniel decorate it. Such a relief to not have to make the cake!
Evelyn had a stack of cards. Some may have been ready since Jennifer's birthday.
To prepare him for his future career Melanie made a vest.
To prepare him for acts of violence Nathan made him a knife. (Fortunately it is wooden. ;)
His choice of birthday activity was to go visit a friend his age who had moved away about three years ago now.
We met at a McDonald's Play Place.
I was worried they might be shy together, but as we do see him occasionally on Sundays visiting family, they still knew how to play together. (Maybe they would anyways. :p )
As we did our get together on Saturday I took half of the children along. We had a different atmosphere and different chats than normal, which was nice!
Daniel has really grown in the last year. Physically and otherwise. He is really trying harder to please people, he is working harder, and generally better at obeying. We are thankful for Daniel!
It is hard to imagine that it was eight years since he was born as a not so tiny baby.
