Yesterday my first-born child turned four! Everyone always says that time passes fast and your kids grow before you're aware that they've changed. It's more true than I ever imagined. Jonas is four!
We started the day with Aebleskivers (Danish spherical pancakes) hot from the pan. I made three batches, thinking that we would have them left as snacks for the rest of the week. Ronan quickly showed me that this was not going to happen though because he kept eating them all morning. We were soon completely out of them!
While I was cooking Jonas opened his presents: Roller skates from us, knee and elbow pads with gloves to go along with his skates from great grammy Sheehan, construction tools and equipment, posters from auntie Laura and a pig bouncy ball from Natalie. Jonas was bursting with glee! He promptly attempted some skating and kept his skates (knee and elbow pads and gloves included) on while he began to test his construction set.
At 1:30 we had a party for Jonas at the Imagine Children's Museum in Everett. We enjoyed pizza, juice, wonderful cupcakes and a great company of friends and family there. The kids played with construction blocks and ran around the rooftop adventure and finally we all returned to the house for Jonas' custom, homemade, superJonas pinata!
It was a whirlwind of adventure and fun for our little man who is now old enough to anticipate and count down the days to his birthday. I'm so happy he had such a blast
It was a great day! I'm still chewing on the fact that he turned 4 too... it's craziness! :) I was happy to be there for the festivities. Jonas is such a great little boy with a great family to help him along. ;)
