Celebration!

Since Nolan was in the hospital the morning of his birthday, we didn't get to do all the things we would have done for Carter's birthday. Instead once we were all home (and Justin ran to the store to buy them) Carter got to open his presents. He loved the race track we got him and the poster he gets to color from Nolan. He also like the Handy Manny workshop Tyler picked out for him.  We would have gone out to dinner for him, but we didn't want Nolan around people so I asked Carter what he wanted me to make instead. At first he wanted lasagna, but when Tyler complained he changed it to sausage and macaroni and cheese (he is always thinking of others). We finally did go out to eat at Red Robin on Thursday night. He loved getting sung to, but loved the ice cream even more. On Saturday he chose to go bowling as his special activity. After bowling 3 frames he decided it was boring and then just ran around the bowling alley. At one point he laid down under the table and declared he would take a nap. Tyler had fun at least. He then bowled his last frame of the game. He should have gotten to eat his Lightening McQueen cake that Justin made for him, but because of behavior issues that got taken away last night. Hopefully today he can enjoy his cake. While he didn't get to have a normal birthday he was very gracious and never complained. I felt bad about it, but Carter didn't seem to mind. Such a wonderful boy he is!!!
