We celebrated Jonah's 4th birthday last week. He's been asking about his birthday for months and each time we'd venture to the store and there happened to be toys, he'd ask for something and I'd have to tell him "Maybe for your birthday!". Magic words.
Jon and I decided to get Jonah a bigger bike this year because he's been riding a little tiny one we borrowed from Jon's brother and he's outgrown it. We picked it up the night before Jonah's birthday and Jon put it together while I decorated the kitchen with balloons. Jon was so excited to be building Jonah's first bike for him.
The next morning we wheeled his new bike out during breakfast and his reaction was classic:
Then he got to ride it when he got home from school that morning. It is taller than his old bike so he has to learn to hold it up and balance it which makes him nervous. He did great!
That night we went to Pirate Island with Jon's family to celebrate and Jonah was so excited! I don't think I've ever seen him so excited about something before. The kids had a great time playing games and I had a great time sitting and watching and eating pizza!
We celebrated with cake and ice cream on Sunday with Jon's family. I asked Jonah what kind of cake he wanted and for a while it was a "bowling cake" but I was able to convince him to have something a little more age appropriate (all the bowling cakes I saw pictures of online also said, "Happy 80th!"). Jonah decided on a Knuckles cake (Sonic and Knuckles). After a few minutes of free-hand drawing the cake, I worried I'd be frosting over the whole thing with blue frosting instead.
Happy Birthday, Jonah Boy! We love you!
