Today was Peirce's birthday. Hard to believe it was 5 years ago we were heading off to the hospital and quickly met our little boy. That day my water broke in the morning at about 8:00. We went to the hospital by about 10:00 and things progressed quite well. By 4:00 Peirce was born. He was such an easy baby! People always said I'd have to pay for that one day - but so far so good. He's still a nice little boy.
Our day started quite early as usual. Peirce always wakes up bright and early. He came into our room just after 6:00. I snuggled with him and asked if he knew what day it was. He said, "Gym day?" Yup. But even more important than that - your birthday! Suddenly his eyes lit up and he was much more energetic. We held off until 7:00 to open presents. We even called Nana and Grandpa and had them on the phone when he opened the present from them. It was a Thomas the Train piece and a Thomas movie. He had just been looking at those and really really wanted one - so he was very happy.
We're planning a birthday party later this week with a puppy cake - so we bought a cake to celebrate today. Peirce, as usual, was the Safety Guy. He didn't want us to light the candles - just put them on the cake. But we told him you can't have a birthday cake if you don't light the candles....even though it seems very unsafe.
The big hit of the day was the Nerf guns. And the best target of all? Chico!! (Poor Chico)
This morning when we went to the gym Peirce decided it was his birthday and he deserved a treat. Who was I to disagree?! He chose a yogurt parfait and some candy popcorn. Tonight Chico decided a yogurt parfait is a great treat for him too!
The day didn't end off too happy. This afternoon I noticed Peirce's eye was looking red. As the day wore on it became more and more clear that he had Pink Eye. We went to the doctor tonight and got a prescription. At least he's still smiling though!
We had planned the birthday party for Thursday - but in light of the Pink Eye we're thinking we might need to re-schedule to next Tuesday. Rats!
