Gage's Birthday Party

This is MY boy Gage.

I hope he will always be MY boy.

Right now he fights to the death with anyone who tries to accuse him of loving someone else as much as me.

I wonder how long I can keep that up for? Gage had a few requests for his birthday.

1. Rainbow cupcakes

2. Jam sandwich for lunch

3. Raisin Bran Crunch for breakfast

4. A trip to the Museum of Natural History in DC

5. A visit from Senator Mike Lee at his party

He got 4 of his 5 wishes! I neglected to talk to Senator Lee's scheduler in time!

Maybe next year.

The whole gang at the museum.

Gage loved being the center of attention.

Everyone loved the creepy crawlies in the live insect exhibit.

Everyone that is except Gage.

He hid under the table while the other kids were doing this!

He also missed the last part of the live tarantula feeding - the feeding part.

Apparently a trip to the bathroom became an emergency!

All in all a great day.

His first birthday spent in DC.

We love this boy.

We love his sense of humor and quick wit.

We love his quirky attributes that make him Gage.

We love that he expresses his love and gratitude constantly.

We love his hugs, kisses, snuggles.

We really love his wild immagination.

My favorite thing to do is sit quietly by him and listen to him play and talk out loud to himself.

Yesterday I heard him congratulating himself on his "brilliant idea".

We love you Gage.
