(HBOT 119) Jonathan's Birthday Party

Today was a big day for Jonathan. We celebrated his 6th birthday. His actual birthday is the 24th and we had a long discussion yesterday because he could not understand why we were celebrating it today instead of Monday. I had to tell him that it was a "pretend" party because his birthday is on a Monday which is a school day and he was not going to be able to have a party. He finally agreed to it.

The day started up hectic with Tae Kwon Do at 10 and then HBOT at noon. He did not want to eat anything. So when he got home, his stomach I guess had shrunk and he didn't want to eat.

The party was at a bowling alley. I was a bit worried. We 13 kids had confirmed and we didn't know how it was going to turn up. But it was a lot of fun. Jonathan played with his friends and about 15 minutes to 4pm, came to me starving. I told him that they were going to serve the food at 4:10pm and he watched the clock. When it was 4:10pm, he came to ask me and indeed the pizza was served.

The kids ate and some of the adults did to. And it was really fun. We sang happy birthday and opened presents. Jonathan was happy.

Some of the presents were Nintendo Wii video games. He opened them but was puzzled why he got those since he didn't have the Wii. Tio Hugo couldn't resist and told him that he and Abuita had gotten him the Wii. Jonathan was happier than I have ever seen him. He came running to me to tell me the news. When we got home, he was so excited opening the other presents looking for the Wii that didn't really appreciate what others had given him.

Some of our friends came to the house and our families and we spent the evening together. It was a fun day.












He was very happy the rest of the evening. We had a very good time.
