HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATHAN!!!

Wow, my little man is 8 today.  I woke up crying from a dream about him.  Not a good way to begin but it made me hug him a bit closer than normal.  He’s just getting to be so old, I love/hate it at the same time.

 

Not only is today his birthday, but it’s the release of Pokémon Platinum video game.  WHO KNEW?!?!  Oh the excitement of it all.  Here he is with his Pokémon birthday ribbon and the figure from the game (free when you pre-order the game). 

 

Off we go to Game Stop to get the game….

We thought the parking lot would be full… no, just 8 cars.  Nathan said “8 cars, that just isn’t right!”.    There is also the Official Game Guide that was a “must have”.  That book is thicker than a phone book and full of more information than my brain wants to even think about.  Nathan is in seventh heaven with all of it!!

When asked before bedtime if he enjoyed his birthday weekend… Nathan’s reply was with his eyes shut, smile from ear to ear and a long “YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS”!
