BLT Birthday

My little boy turned 9 years old today. Here's my FB status telling about it:

?9 YEARS AGO TODAY, AS I WAS PREPARING TO GO TO MY BABY SHOWER, MY LITTLE BOY DECIDED HE WANTED TO MAKE AN EARLY APPEARANCE INTO THIS WORLD. WHILE EVERYONE WAS AT THE SHOWER WITHOUT ME, I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WELCOMING MY ITTY BITTY 5 LB. 8 OZ. BUNDLE OF JOY! :D

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY LIAM...YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO US!!!
=====================================================
I gave the birthday boy a choice today (since it's a rainy day) of eating out for breakfast or for lunch for Liam's BD. They chose breakfast so they could have some playtime in the playland. So we started out our day taking Grandma to her morning hair appointment and then going for breakfast burritos. They filled their bellies and played like crazy until it was time to pick up Grandma again. Grandma was all 'prettied up' and we took her home. The boys decided to visit with her and her cat, Blu, for a while. They loved watching the antics between Blu and the dog Cody. These are two entertaining wrestling animals. It was funny until my boys became too wild over it and I decided it was time to give Great Grandma (MeeMaw) a break.

When evening hit, I made Liam what he requested for his BD dinner. It was an interesting combination of BLTs and Egg Flower Soup with tofu (he's crazy about this soup at Mongolian BBQ). I used this blip photo of him with his dinner of choice. We headed out for BD dessert of Cold Stone and brought it back home to eat after the gift opening, since the night was getting late. He opened the gifts from us (the Star Wars General Grievous Lightsaber, cash to go towards his iPod Touch, a water resistant bag for the iTouch accessories, a new lunch box, a 'surfer-dude' type necklace and a green iTouch case). He was thrilled to now have enough money from everyone to buy his iTouch!!! Ever since Loren bought his, Liam has been checking it out and wanting one. I was proud of him this year for not asking for a bunch of toys and instead saving for the iTouch. Yay Liam! We love you and can't believe you're already 9! You're growing up way too fast, our little bundle of energy! If we could harness your energy, I think we'd light up New York. :D
