Seven

In typical Charlie style, he downplayed any special attention we tried to bestow upon him. He got a sheepish grin when I woke him a hug with and birthday wishes, but warmed up to the idea of being the center of attention as the day wore on. He requested french bread pizzas and salad for his special dinner. For dessert we gobbled up chocolate cupcakes with blue icing.

Grandma and Patch made his day with a magic eight ball! Unfortunately, it said I'm going to get a big derriere and Patch is going to lose his hair. Stupid magic eight ball. Nana and Grandpa sent magformers, which were immediately used to build pyramids, balls and buildings. He got loaded up with cash and gift cards from his aunts, uncles and grandparents. Thanks everybody! He was counting down the minutes to go to Target and blow it all. Yesterday his wish came true. He got a new bike, baseball bag, baseball belt and webkinz! He was so happy to walk that bike to the cash register and pay for it himself.
