Yesterday was Orin's fifth birthday.
For his big birthday present this year
we got him a new bike
which we actually gave to him a couple days ago
so that he could use it on our daily walks around the neighborhood.
For his actual birthday festivities,
I enlisted the help of my mother,
not knowing what state I would be in on the big day.
She made him a birthday shirt
which he proudly wore all day,
stopping random people to tell them that he was 5 now.
She also made cupcakes which we took to the
dining common at her school
so that Orin could pass them out to all the other kids
and she got him a couple presents to open
like this soccer ball:
The rest of the day we spent walking
as much as possible
hoping that we could manage one more birthday present
for Orin if his sister decided to make her grand entrance
into the outside world
(which she didn't)
but Orin did find the first pink lady slipper of the season
maybe not quite as cool, but oh well.
Two days late and still waiting...
