Breakout Birthday Party

Saturday was a busy day and I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to pack it all in.  We somehow managed and one of the two main activities was a big success!  The first activity was taking Jackson to Touch-a-Truck at the Town Toyota Center.  You'd think it would be every little boys dream... lots and lots of cool trucks to see and touch.  Well, not our child.  He was WAY overwhelmed and did not like it at all.  So we donated $12, stayed 5 minutes and then proceeded to go to Lowe's to make the trip down there worth while. :)

The second activity was a birthday party for Jackson's buddy, Jackson Dodd.  We were a little late due to Audri's feeding schedule but I am so happy we made it work.  Jackson had SO MUCH fun and for the first time, didn't cry when the birthday boy/girl opened presents.  He also jumped in the jumpy castle for the first time (which is a big deal because prior to then, he was terrified of them).  I left feeling so proud of him and how he handled everything.  And since baby sister stayed with Daddy, I felt like it was some quality time with my big man.
