Juan turned eight years old on Friday, and it is hard to believe he is growing up so fast. Like Ingrid, he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. Everyone in our family gets to pick out a sugar cereal for their birthday breakfast. Juan chose Fruit Loops with marshmellows. He enjoyed a healthy breakfast of sugar cereal and chocolate milk, a hamburger and play time at Burger King for lunch, and pizza for dinner. The kids play with friends at a homeschool group at our church on Friday, so Juan helped make cupcakes for everyone.
He also knew exactly what he wanted for his special day. Although he received other special gifts, he asked for a transformer and a cake with sea creaters on it. The highlight of the cake for Juan was the star fish in the middle of the cake. Although he is growing up, the simple things are the ones that matter the most. Juan is very small and young for his age. He will be the first to jump in our lap and can never get enough hugs. Above any frustrations we may have throughout a day, we treasure and hold on to these special moments.
