TJ is 5!

TJ is now 5 years old, and he says he feels bigger and stronger. His birthday wish was for a pet. A dog or a cat or even a hamster would do. He was so happy to see his guinea pig when he woke. He baby talked to it and sang to it and held it. Paul liked it, too. They decided the cage should be in Paul's room since that's where they both sleep. When Amina came upstairs to meet GG that evening, the guinea pig was deceased. Poor TJ. He cried and cried, until I suggested he open his other presents while we waited for the pizza to be delivered.

Luckily, his other presents were all winners. Scott & Cissy gave him a great Hot Wheels launcher. Every Hot Wheels car the boys could find had to go through the loop.
Aunt Nise and Uncle David sent a game we all had fun playing.

Aunt Sharon gave him Spy supplies. He'll spy on Paul, I'm sure.

Amina brought Veggie Tales DVDs and a Kindergarden prep book.

I didn't get a picture of the amazing coin bank Papa brought. It's a huge railroad crossing sign that whistles and makes the crossing chimes when a coin is deposited. I didn't get a picture of the whole party, either. Well, here are the cupcakes...
