William woke up on Saturday with a terrible cold and asked if we could stay in the apartment all day to play with his new toys. Since it was ridiculously cold outside, we thought it was probably a good idea! Thankfully, he had a celebration at his school the day before, which was terrific, and his party is not scheduled until this coming Saturday.
School Celebration. I took a terrific video of the whole event, but this silly blog no longer lets me upload video. So, below are a couple of photos. They sang H-A-P-P-Y like the song B I N G O (remove a letter at a time and clap as you sing the verse 5 times) for his birthday song. The Birthday Boy was in charge of the word HAPPY on the board and crossing off each letter as the song was sung. William was adorable and so grown-up it was hard to just sit and watch him without giving him a big hug. Following that, there was a story of William's choosing, Little Gorilla, read to the class and then a candle-lighting ceremony. William blew out his candles and dismissed the class to tables to eat the celebration snack: fresh berries and hershey kisses.

Morning of his big day. Although under-the-weather, he was excited upon seeing the "enormous present" awaiting him when he awoke. |

| Last but not least, the big reveal |

Okay... so we went out on Sunday and all of a sudden our 4 year old son, who does not eat cake, begged for a cake. We could hardly refuse. He was so pleased. However... after just four bites, he told us that he does not like cake. Yes, William... WE knew that already! LOL |
