Today is my son's 5th birthday. He is very happy with the fact he is now a "whole hand" old.... that is until he realizes he will never be 4 again....no matter how hard he tries. For those of you who dont know...4 is his favorite number and he mentioned on several occasions he always wanted to be 4 years old. I would comply w/ him w/ a passing "yes dear"...and go on w/ my day. Well for the moment he is settled into his ripe ol' age of 5 and has stuck to having the #4 be his favorite number. We are having his party on Saturday so he will have to wait until then for his cake and the rest of his presents (we gave him ours already...along w/ my mom giving him one small gift yesterday), he got to pick supper out tonight ...he picked Burger King (big surprise). I did feel a little bad for him today ....as Kelsie was sick w/ a nasty cough (tried to keep them as separate as possible in a Ranch style home) and I had flu like symptoms today....so the poor thing spent the day playing by himself and watching whatever movies he wanted....the more I think of it..he had it pretty good today
On a side note I was able to get Kelsie to take a nap (trust me that earned me a medal or something) and when she got up she still had some of the cough and I reminded her to cover her mouth...which proved to come in handy since she was coughing so hard she litterally coughed her tooth out!! But seeing as she listened to me and had her hand there..the tooth didnt fly across the room..it just fell to the floor. 
Christy - for someone who never liked to take naps as a child - you did do good today to get Kelsie to take one!
Hugs and Kisses for you all!
Mamaw Debbie :-)
Hope y'all start feeling better soon!
God bless you,
Marsha
