Happy Birthday, Grayson Luke!!!

I missed writing yesterday on Grayson's real birthday because it was a hectic day!!! I had planned on taking a half day so I could take him to his FIVE year check up. That is still so weird to say that he is 5!

Since we had his party this past weekend, I wanted to try to do little things to make his real birthday special. I took him to the donut store before school and told him to get anything he wanted! Of course, Ella wanted to also. She was very happy it was big brother's special day because she got to enjoy it, too! Here he is...still so sleepy.....

Is it just me or does he look bigger? My heart just melts when I look at this little guy...or should I say big guy.

I picked him up from daycare and they said he didn't seem to feel well. I told him we were heading to the doctor anyways. I got there and they couldn't even do his check up because he had a fever, swollen glands, swollen tonsils, a super red throat and ears. He kept saying, "Mommy, I can't be sick on my birthday!" The dr. gave us some stronger antibiotics (he had just went in for an ear infection last week). For dinner, I asked Grayson where he wanted to go...of course...he said McDonalds which I am not a big fan of but we seem to frequent there quite often for the kiddos. We got our food and he said he wanted to leave right away and not play.....so when we got home and picked up his meds, we set up a movie in his room (the kids don't have tv's in their rooms, we don't allow them so that our family is together in one room) and Nana brought over a cupcake. It was a sad little birthday but he enjoyed it! So before I end this post, let me tell you a little about our Grayson Luke.....
