Happy birthday

Wow almost a month has gone by without a post.  Last weekend we celebrated his birthday.  We had his first big -invite-your-class- party at the local gymnastics center.  Although the turnout was not high (and the service poor) he had a lot of fun.  He had asked daily for over a month when his birthday party was so I am so glad it is over.
He did not pass his ice skating class but promises to listen better to his teacher next class.  I hope to have him in the holiday ice show.
He got a big ball that he and his sister (and sister's friends) can roll around inside like a bunch of gerbils.  He also got baseball stuff. 

Roller skating is not his thing

As much as he loves ice skating, roller skating is not for him.  He got another injury at the roller rink.  The first time ended up in the emergency room. 
Who would have thought that two things that seem so alike are not.
He did not have such a great time ice skating this week, either.  We got him new skates that did not work for him so we are stuck with the rentals.
I think he is finally getting it that our dog is gone for good.  He broke down crying until he fell asleep
