a Ballerina Bear

So, my birthday was Friday, the big 32... I really do not feel old, I think having 2 young children helps me to still feel young... This story is actually a good example of how they have a way of doing that for me!

I woke Jayce up Friday morning, and instead of me having to drag him out of bed as I had been that whole week, he jumped out of bed and ran to his desk and handed me the most beautiful package from the "Toy Shop!" I was so excited! I love when the boys get presents to open from there but this one was just for me! He exclaimed "Happy Birthday mama!... I got a present for you! It was as if he had been waiting all morning for me to walk in so he could say that! I said, Jayce, what is this? (as in I can't believe you got me a present). Being the literal fella that he is, he said, "it's a ballerina bear for you!" Sure enough, I opened it and it was the most precious small stuffed ballerina bear I'd ever seen, tutu and all (is that how you spell it girl moms?) She even plays music! I thanked him after he gave me his hand made card and gave him a giant hug and told him this was the best present I'd ever gotten on my birthday, and it really was! Something about my sweet boy being so excited to give me something he had picked out just made my day!

Later on, I thanked Jay, and he said it was all Jayce's idea! He asked Jayce what he wanted to give me and he said a dancing ballerina that twirls around. Jay said he'd been all over town looking for a ballerina jewelry box or something but they are so hard to come by. So in desperation he finally ended up at the toy shop and this was the closest he could find!

I love my ballerina bear!

AND Gabe even sang me happy birthday with a bit of prompting!

I had a fabulous dinner and CHOCOLATE CAKE with my hubby! If only birthdays could be every day!
