Today, I am 5!!!!!

Hardly seems possible that just a few years ago I couldn't even walk or talk; because I can do both of those things like nobody's business now! I'm also getting quite clever, and late last night when everybody thought I was asleep I was really peeking from under my bedroom door into the living room where I saw Mummy and a FANTASTIC Mac Hauler with a Shake N Go Lightning McQueen... which I DID have on my birthday list! So I said a tiny little 'Hello'... it was pretty quiet out there and then people started to move around and ask questions, like this:

Mummy: Ethan, what are you doing?

Me: I see something!

Daddy: What do you see buddy?

Me: I see the Mac Hauler and the Shake N Go McQueen!

Suddenly the Mac Hauler was gone...and I was being told to go back to bed!!! Nuts!!! Don't worry, I got another look at what they were doing when I had to pee...and I told them I had to poop. After that I was out of stuff to say so I had to stay in bed!

Bright and early this morning (3:30 AM to be precise) I wiggled into bed with my Nana, and I woke her up. After a few minutes I told her I was going to wake up Mummy & Daddy, but she strongly suggested I return to my bed. I didn't want to.... so I basically stayed awake until about 5:45AM when I woke up those parents of mine and demanded the birthday fun begin! YEAH, BIRTHDAY FUN! All I really wanted was to open that Mac Hauler.... so I did! And I got other stuff too! From Mummy & Daddy, and Nana too! THEN Daddy went and got me Dunkin Donuts. Good times!!!!

After that we played a little bit, and I took a short nap. Then it was off to my party at Jump On IN Fun in Nashua, NH. (Note from Mum: this is an EXCELLENT place to do a kids party. Loads of fun for the kids, and they were tired when they left!) 2 full room of jumping, sliding and climbing fun on the inflatables! Loads of fun for all - but I think the adults might have been having more fun than us... they climb really fast!!! At first, I was kinda shy and I didn't really want to do anything -- but once I gave in and went on the first slide I was totally hooked. I went on the slide a bunch of times with Mum, Dad, and Lexi! (I love Lexi!). After play time was over, we had pizza, and juice, and a super groovy Toy Story cake. It was so much fun!

I wonder what they will plan for next year.....
