Today was Aidan's 5th birthday party! They had a party at Chuck E Cheese - and Alexander was so excited. He ran around the whole time playing games with Sam.
They got to play games, earn tickets, have some pizza & cake while they watched the Chuck E Cheese show sing to the Birthday kids. Then after lunch they got to run around and play more games. Perfect way to tire them out!
Alexander managed to get through the first five years with minor incidents. He had the croup a couple times and did get a cast but that's about it. He's never had an ear ache or ear infection. That is until he turned five. He woke up, crying, the night of his birthday complaining of a sore throat and that his ear hurt.
He did have a little cold during the earlier part of the week (cough/sniffles) so that turned into a bit more. We stayed home today to rest as he wasn't feeling well and both ears ended up hurting. I called the doctors and they agreed it was good for us to go get checked out.
We met with Dr. D and she examined Alexander's ears & throat. He does have a minor ear infection in both ears. She said it was extremely small infection as there wasn't a lot of fluid but certainly would cause pain/discomfort.
Alexander & Mommy headed home to rest for the afternoon. We picked up his medicine and went home to cuddle & watch a movie. He did get a low-grade fever in the afternoon but once he took his grape medicine, he was starting to feel a bit better and fell asleep quickly tonight.
Here's hoping it passes quickly for the little guy.
One can never have enough Birthday celebrations...tonight, Alexander asked to go out to dinner for his birthday! Mommy, Daddy & Alexander headed to Fridays for a birthday treat.
After eating dinner, the waitstaff asked if they could sing to him as they brought him over his chocolate dessert. He was very cute, being shy as they sang. (he kept moving around which is why the pictures are blurry)
To celebrate Alexander's 5th Birthday, Mommy went into class this morning to read a couple books during circle time as well as bring cupcakes for snack time.
His class loved the books he picked out as we read one of his favorites (Just Going To The Dentist) and they loved the frog's side story.
During snack time, his class sang Happy Birthday and then got to eat cup cakes.
For this month's homework, each kid had to work on making a Potato Pet.
Today, we had very small party at home to celebrate Alexander turning five! We continuously are blessed with nice weather for party days.
For this year's birthday, we invited the entire class to join us for some activities & cake. Alexander had a blast with his friends from school. They played some games in the gym (messy backyard, soccer, Fishy Fishy) before it was time for cake & ice cream.
