My “Baby” Boy is 8!

Where did the time go?! We woke up, and Brandon was up first. I made him a little sign last night, and I put it in front of his door. He came into our room after 630 am, and he said, “I’m EIGHT!” I told him technically he wasn’t eight until after 12:19 pm, when he was officially born. Also, I told him, “Come here so I can give you a hug!” He said, “No, I’m hungry.” great. So, he went down for his own breakfast, while we got ready. Peyton lounged around, the consequence of staying up past 930 pm last night. Dave thinks I woke her up when I came back from my school meeting. I told Brandon since it was his birthday today, he could open the gift from Auntie Julie. It was on the counter, and when I heard him rustling through the tissue paper, all I heard was, “OOooooo.” Then he shouted back upstairs, “Auntie Julie knew JUST what I wanted!” They were Pokemon cards. Then he said, “Did you tell her?” He was kept quiet the rest of the morning, while I got Peyton up and at ’em. We went off to school in time for flag salute. Peyton and I then took off for her school. I then headed up to my dental appointment, and picked up a snack pack for Peyton’s lunch. I wanted to have her eat in the car on the way home, since it was already 11 am by the time I was heading back. There was a dental visit for the kids today, so I wanted her to stay with the class for the presentation. I arrived at school by 1130 am, and the dentist was already gone. We headed home, while Peyton ate her chicken and hummus. I was going to eat her tomatoes, but she told me, “I ate all my tomatoes!” I was shocked! They were the size of the ones we’d grown here at home, so I think she was used to eating them now. I knew she’d eat the cucumber, but I wasn’t expecting the tomatoes. She finished up at home, and I told her food was going away by 12:15 pm if she wasn’t done. She told me she was all done, leaving some of the chicken, and pita, but all the veggies were done. She went upstairs on her own, and I washed up the dishes. I went up after I was done, and again, she was out! I took a nap, too, and then when my alarm went off, I went to check on her. She was still sound asleep, and I did the unthinkable….woke her up. She was a bit cranky, ok, a lot cranky, but we got out the door in time. This didn’t bode well for her lesson, as she was not very cooperative. She was hot and cold, and she was fine with me, but when the teacher came around, she just stared at her. I didn’t hand as many stickers to her, and she knew she was going to be in trouble, saying, “I don’t want you to talk about it in the car!” Haha…she knew what was coming. We left piano after it was done, and we headed to get Brandon. I was informed that he was moving up to the 3rd grade class, one of 5 2nd graders to do so. There were too many 1-2 graders in the current room, so they were off-loading some. Brandon wasn’t so excited, though the teachers say he likes to go in there to volunteer and hang out with the older kids. He doesn’t want to leave his current friends, but we think the teachers are better, and it may serve him well to be around older kids. We’ll see. He handed me a bag of goodies from the same teacher who gave him the chocolate last week. He said, “I didn’t want to get in trouble again, so here you go.” She’d given him some gummies, and he asked if he could have them. I said, “Sure! Thank you for telling me. And I’m lifting the dessert ban, since you told me.” He was excited of course, and then he was happy to look over all the new Pokemon cards he received, while Peyton and I cleaned up. Dave came home, and Brandon said he wanted to go to a Chinese place that has shaved snow. He wanted to go this morning, even though I said no dessert. His response, “They have other food there, you know!” He’d wanted noodles. But now, since his dessert ban was lifted, he was totally looking forward to it. Dave asked him if there was anywhere else he’d rather go, more “fun”, like we’ve done for Peyton’s birthday. Dave convinced him to get a hamburger. Brandon and Dave came up with Islands. We let Brandon order a regular hamburger instead of the kids’ version. We even let him order fries!!  I think he was most excited about that. I ordered it fully loaded, except for the onions, and the server commented, “Wow, he has a great palette if he eats all the veggies and other stuff on the hamburger.”  She said she only liked the meat and ketchup when she was young.  He did eat his hamburger as requested first, then the fries, and he even shared them with me right away.  I had a salad so I could share fries with him 🙂  Peyton had a slider and some broccoli.  When she was done, Dave gave her a few fries.  Dave asked the server if there was anything for birthday celebrants.  She said, “Either the mud pie or the lava cake!”  Brandon whispered in my ear, “The mud pie.”  We asked her for the mud pie, and Brandon told me that after his second helping of fries that we’d served him, he was done.  (We ordered more as they were ‘bottomless’.)  The mud pie was brought out, and the server wished him a happy birthday and asked him how old he was. He was quick to answer, “EIGHT!” and reminded me now that it was after his actual birth time.  He said all of his friends in class sang to him, and throughout the day, wished him a happy birthday.  They all knew it was today, and Brandon passed out favors.  I think he had a great day today, and we’ll be celebrating all weekend long with my family tomorrow and his friends on Sunday!

Here he is about to dig in…I had to stop him to take the picture, and then Dave stopped him to cut it into smaller pieces for us to share!  The kids went to sleep, while I headed to run…off the mud pie!
