Happy Birthday Owyn!

Today our little Owyn is five years old.  Like all parents, I suspect, it is amazing to us that our baby is now five.  It really does seem like we just brought him home from the hospital.

Owyn is totally psyched for it to be his birthday.  Both boys were in bed with us at 0510 this morning.  Owyn was waiting in his room, right by the door, for Rhys to get up.  As soon as we heard Rhys' door, there was Owyn's and both boys were in bed with us.  I managed to doze a little bit until 0530, but then Finn started whining to go out.  I let the dogs out, and back in.  I turned on the light and Rhys and I sang "Happy Birthday" to Owyn, who just sat there with a giant grin on this face.

Owyn had a present bag waiting for him, on the kitchen table, this morning.  It had a new Scooby Doo movie in it as well as ten of the little Monster books, which both boys love for bed time stories.  He "just loves all my presents so much".  So that was a success.

Owyn got to have some chocolate donuts for breakfast, then off to school.  Tonight Mama will pick up Owyn and go to the party store to pick out his invitations.  He is inviting ten kids from "one school" and "two school" as well as the thirteen other friends and family kids who will be there.  Ouch.  Herding cats.  After the party store Mama and Owyn will go pick up pizza for dinner, because it's not a birthday without pizza.  Meanwhile, I'll pick up Rhys and we are going to go to the Lego store and get Owyn the rest of his presents.

This will be a good day for Owyn.
