Happy 7th Birthday to Me!

I woke up remembering immediately that it was my birthday.

Mommy had two presents for me this morning:  30 little books for beginner readers.  I looked through them to see if there were any Pete The Cat books.  None... but that was okay.  My other gift was a compass.  I'll need it for Cub Scouts.  Thank you Mommy.

GGM, GGF, and Barbara all wished me happy birthday.

At at the bus stop, all my gang wished me a Happy Birthday.  It was wear a "Texas sports team shirt to school day."  I wore #99  (J.J. Watt) Texans shirt. 

Annd Kate was here to wish me a Happy Birthday also.  Mr. Mark came outside and wished me happy birthday.

Mimz and Barbara were coming to school with Subway sandwiches to share my birthday lunch with me.  Anna Kate was sick so Barbara couldn't come. 

Mimz brought me a meatball sandwich and root beer.  When I saw her in the hall I ran up and gave her a hug.

At the end of lunch I passed out ice cream on a stick to my classmates.  Mommy arranged that for me. 

Mimz got to talk with Mrs. Cat and with a substitute teacher that she knew from her days as a teacher.

 Mrs. Cat gave me this birthday card...

 ...and this book mark.  Thank you, Mrs. Cat.

For the first time every (I think) Barbara was not there to meet my bus.  She kept sick baby at her own home.  Mimz was there to take me to her home.  On the drive home I was doing math in my head.  I gave Mimz all of the fact family combinations for 7 and 8.  I knew 7 + 0 was 7.  I did both mental addition and substraction, all in my head. I take after my great grandfather, John.  He was super good at doing math in his head.

Mimz had a present for me.  Something I had asked for at Christmas time:  a Yvolution Scooter, also called a Flicker.  I love it!  I quickly started learning how to use my body motion to propel it.

Daddy took me to my soccer practice. And the team wished me a Happy Birthday.  Mommy brought a birthday cake to Mimz and then she ran a couple errands.  While we were gone, Grammie called from Chattannga to wish me a Happy Birthday.  I need to call her back.

We had pizza and birthday cake for dinner. 

Knox joined us.

I had a great day all day.  I was reminded all day long that it was my birthday.  Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!

I have grown into a fine big boy according to all of my family.
