Graham turned 5 on June 28th. Guess where we were? Yep, another baseball tournament. Both Owen and Miles played in the KC area and Mike and Rosie made the long drive from Atwood to join us for the weekend. All he wanted to do for his birthday was swim, and he was completely satisfied with the small hotel pool. After swimming and baseball we headed home, stopping at Red Robin in Topeka for early dinner. Grandma Rosie tipped off the waitress that Graham had a birthday so the staff brought him a special dessert and sang to him. For gifts this year he got "tall" socks, bigger underwear, his own gum and candy, as well as a Dick's card and money to spend on something he really wants. Rosie and Mike also bought his a backpack full of kiddie fireworks since his birthday is so close to July 4.
At age five, he loves to play any electronic device that he can get his hands on, loves to run, play, swim, and is starting to get interested in the specifics of sports. He likes when I give him "homework" and usually thinks he's old enough to do anything Owen and Miles do. He's still a mama's boy and insists on having "Blue Blanket" for sleeping. Unfortunately he still sucks his thumb--we're hoping he kicks the habit when school starts. Happy 5th Birthday, Graham!

Surprised with his birthday treat!
