The birthday celebrations started out with a special day at LegoLand with Betsy and Theo, and Nina came along too. They play together a lot and call themselves the "CBT Club". We ate at the Rainforest Cafe after Legoland. Betsy and Theo hadn't been to Rainforest Cafe and Colton loved showing them the "rainstorm" and looking at all the animals.
We decorated the house with streamers on the day of his birthday, per tradition. He got what he says is his best gift ever for his birthday - a 3D printer! He has been printing nonstop and loves making little toys and gadgets and has given a lot of things to his classmates.
He invited his whole class to his birthday party at SPARK Dallas. No one from his class had been there before and he was excited so many of his friends ventured downtown to celebrate with him. He had a Tails (from Sonic) theme and Nina magically worked with Tom Thumb to make an awesome Tails cake, even though they originally said they couldn't do it. She found a way! We served hot dogs and lots of snacks and it seemed like the kids had a great time.
Colton is still a little kid who enjoys baths in our bathroom, sleeping with us in bed when we allow him to, back scratches and cuddles at night, playing with his toys, playing dress-up, hanging out with Mom and Dad, running errands, and making new friends. He is overall cool and has an ease around him that draws others to his funny and laid-back vibe. He is starting to develop a few strong opinions. Things like his longer hair and NOT wanting to try out new sports. He is funny and loving and I couldn't be more proud to be his momma.
