Birthday's are a pretty big deal in this house, regardless, if a global pandemic was happening around us a celebration still needed to happen! We would have to do everything here at home, since pretty much everything Colin likes to do is closed, but making his special day fun was still of high importance. Colin turned 11 last week and it was his turn to have the red carpet rolled out for his day.
From the moment he woke up, he knew it was his birthday and that is always a moment that makes me smile. He knew the minute he opened his bedroom door it was his birthday. I started this years ago, especially for Colin, but Ethan gets it too. I did it, because Colin didn't have the words to express and I wasnt sure if he understood that it was his birthday?! So, that's where this tradition transpired. Now, all these years later, he still gets so excited. Colin, can now use his words and he understands "Happy Birthday" 100%, but I still continue because it warms my heart to see my boys so happy on their special day....
We weren't going to be able to do anything outside of the house, due to COVID-19, but the awesome thing Colin is simple and loves things just to be simple, so our celebration this year was going to be just that....a "simple" birthday celebration here at home. However, it needed to include balloons, his special cake, streamers, and chicken nuggets! Colin LOVES balloons and he loves to let them go outside, so that's what we do.😊
Every year, especially with Colin, I reminisce on his growth and how far he's come. This kid has and is, so fun to watch grow up. He's amazing! I love watching him and birthdays are a huge growth, because now we can sing the birthday song, he opens his gifts, and he loves to tell everyone "Happy Birthday" so he gets it and that just warms my heart...
