my first child turned FOUR on july 19th. i cannot believe that i have a 4 year old! we had a great weekend full of celebrating. we started it off by a backyard birthday party with lots of friends. we surprised sulli by renting a spiderman bounce house. he came down the stairs and saw it outside. his face was priceless! he said "oh my goodness!" as you may have guessed by now, the theme was spiderman so we had a pinata, cake, cookies and goodie bags that went along with the theme. later in the day we took sulli out to dinner at red robin. they sang a happy birthday song to him at the restaurant and he wasn't sure what to think. it was pretty darn cute seeing his cheeks redden and his eyes light up when they presented him with his own sundae. after dinner we went downtown to the twilight criterium. this has become a tradition for us. it typically falls on the day that we celebrate sulli's birthday. he loves it and is a great cheerleader for the cyclists. then on sunday, his actual birthday, we took him to dinner again...just mom, dad and sulli (we met some friends there). we thought it would be a treat to have a "date night" with mom and dad. little did we know that sulli would be quite distraught that we were leaving little brother with mimi and bumpa. he wasn't quite sure why this was happening. all in all it was a great weekend with fun celebrations for my little man. i can't believe i have a snapping, bike riding (sans training wheels), trampoline jumping, God loving little boy. it blows my mind. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SULLIVAN!
