Zayin has been counting the days for weeks for this birthday. As you can see we have celebrated and partied for weeks. He has been so worked up that on the official day, he was exhausted by 3 and couldn't stop crying about a splinter in his foot. We had a wonderful day swimming, pizza, and of course his official birthday dinner of corn on the cob, teriyaki chicken, broccoli . . .and a chocolate cake. I hadn't made the cake and after the 3 pm cry, my dear friend gave me the greatest advice of, "just buy a cake." A lady watching us at costco started laughing at us when Darius said . . .(trust me you have no idea how many people just stare . . . I want to wear a shirt that says, "yes, I have my hands full, and, nope, it is a boy on the way" . . . anyway, Darius was saying, but Mom, how can you make this cake for just $2???" It killed me to spend $ on a cake, but in the end it saved a little bit of my sanity. Thank you, Lori, for great advice. And thank you Zayin, for the birthday. What a wonderful day to celebrate what God has given us. A wonderful 5 years with a sweet and precious boy I am dearly in love with.
