More Birthday

Micah had his "friend" birthday party on Friday morning. The theme was Nascar. My little redneck! His Nascar interest began last year when his friend Nathan gave him a Nascar Matchbox car, #49, Jimmie Johnson. Suddenly Micah was a Jimmie Johnson fan. Then, when he and I went and ordered Emmalee's birthday cake at Big Y, there, in the display case, was a beautifully decorated Nascar cake. In awe, Micah exclaimed, "I want THAT cake for MY birthday"! And he didn't forget it. I offered to make him a sheet cake and decorate it with a race track and cars, but NO, he wanted that cake! So, since he is a little bit spoiled, we got him the cake.

I decorated the house with Nascar and other race car stuff - there was a big sign on the door, checkered flag streamers, and balloons. I bought a race car candy mold and actually MADE blue chocolate race car lollipops for everyone's goodie bag. I found gummi race cars at the store. He had Nascar plates and cups and napkins. We brought out the rug that is a town scene with roads all over it, and all the cars we have in the house for the boys to play with. It was a really good time. Micah had fun, his friends had fun, and the moms had fun chatting!

Today Micah went for his 4-year checkup. He is doing great! He weighed in at 36lbs and is 38 1/2 inches. He read all the letters off the eye chart and survived a shot! What a big boy!
