Jaggar's 4th Birthday

Jaggar asked every day after his zoo trip when his birthday was.  He would say, "UGH!  But it's SO hard to wait!"  Every day, we'd count down another day to when his birthday was.  Truth is, I wanted it to be here too, because I wanted him to get what he wanted.  Oh, one of the reasons we did his zoo trip a week before his birthday is that Travis went out of town on a 6 day shoot for MTV and wouldn't return until the day before Jaggar's birthday.  May was SO busy.  AND Jaggar's birthday was field day at Sage's school, AND I had a meeting at 7:30 in the morning for Sage being in the gifted program.  So he woke up and I had to leave!  I think he was like, "I've waited this long, and I'm still having to wait?"  I hated to leave him, but field day was over by 10:30, and I checked Sage out after that.  We went and picked up some balloons and his beloved Toy Story cake from Publix and had plans to eat lunch at Chick-Fil-A and play on the playground with Sage and Paisley.  Travis had come home to help Mom with the baby, as I could not take him to field day, so we decided to go ahead and do some presents, as this boy had waited long enough.  He didn't even care about the balloons once we mentioned presents.

Isn't he beautiful?

This was from us, and it was his "big present."

I don't know how he even knows who Spiderman is, but he does, and he loves him.  Spiderman climbs up the wall and then flips up to stand on the roof.  I wish I would have known that was going to happen so that I could have gotten Jaggar's expression.  It was awesome.

He got new blocks from Mema so he can build things on his work bench.  He loves that thing.

And then came the bag of Octonaut goodies from Nonni.

This was a MAJOR Fave.  Kwazzi and the shark Gup.  That came to Chick Fil A with us.  It was so hot outside, and normally I can't get Jaggar to leave.  But when I asked him if he was ready to go home, he left in a heartbeat to get back to his presents that we'd left behind as soon as he opened them.

And THEN...oh, what could this be?

Isn't that wonderful?!  He was so excited.  And he's so sweet.  When we got home, Sage, of course, wanted to play with it...and actually set it up her way.  And he let her!  She'd ask to play with all of his new things, and he let her!  I'd never have let my brother do that.

Behold, the Octonaut house.
