HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROWAN!

My baby is five today, I just can't believe it! Rowan has been such a fun baby and child. He's wild and noisy, snuggly and sweet; everything a little boy should be. Rowan was asking me questions the other day about what he was like when he was a baby, and sadly I couldn't remember enough details to satisfy him. He told me to "look in your brain Mommy!" He makes us all laugh like crazy at the funny things he says, and his love of dancing. This kid just has to move if there is music on. Even if you're just walking through the mall, if you walk past a store with music playing his head will start bopping. We are all so glad to have him in our family, and love him so much!

Rowan decided to save one of his presents from his party this weekend. He wanted a present to open on his real birthday. He has been so funny about his birthday this year. Usually he just accepts the combined family party with Fuller with no question, but this year he has had all sorts of ideas for his own birthday. I guess I'm going to have to make another cake today, because he's just determined that we're having a "party" from after school until bedtime.

Rowan was more than a little bit excited about the "Count Chocula"! I don't think he could quite believe that chocolate cereal even exists.
