nicholas' fifth birthday




Our little man, Nicholas, turned one on April 1st...no joke, he really did! 5 whole years! One word - Wow. His birthday this year fell on a Wednesday so we celebrated at home that evening with his favourite, cheese pizza and cake! And then the following Sunday, we held his party at Airzone with friends and family.

Thankfully, we did plan for the Sunday because that week was full of sickness...once again! All was well on April 1st with Nicholas but that night, when Johnathon and I were heading up to bed, Nicholas woke up and threw up all over the bed. Did not see that coming! That continued on through the night, moving from his bed to Syds bed to his bed...changing sheets, jammies, washing up. Poor little guy. The next day, he was done with the puking and really just sat around or slept all day. Then the third day, full on fever! All in all, he wasn't well again until the day of his party and even then, he refused cake so it was pretty obvious he wasn't 100%.

But a great time was had by all!!! And we thank all of you that came out to celebrate.

This past year has been all about Wall-E and now Star Wars. In fact, my son fancies himself a young Jedi. It has also been the year that Nicholas began JK and is doing very well. He now has a best friend whose name is Chase. Nicholas' favourite things are his Star Wars toys, in particular his three light sabers and his Clone Wars helmet. I'm not entirely sure what possessed me the day I let him watch the Clones Wars animated movie. Our lives have been forever changed because of it!!

With all the sickness that has rotated through the four of us here since December, we have decided to take a last minute trip to the Dominican (Puerto Plata) while we all are...dare I say it....healthy! I'm hoping a week of playing in the sun will rid any left over 'sickies' and we will come home to enjoy the Spring sick-free.
