Hank's all day beach party!

Hank had a great birthday. He woke up with an attitude. Hank gradually woke up the entire household (not really different than any other day.) We were trying to keep him quiet. We were saying, "shhhh Hank, quiet." Hank replied, "I YELL!"

He wanted to start his day with a Little Debbie cupcake. He did eat eggs first and then his cupcake. Gaga and Pappy gave him a new Thomas the train, "Murdoch." When Charlie and Kensington woke up, they gave him a box of three Thomas trains (coincidence? I think not.) While shopping, Charlie put back a package with one train to get Hank a pack of three. They kind of shared and played trains.

We spent the rest of the day on the beach.

Every day at nap time, I took Hank's wet swim diaper and swim suit off to put on a dry diapre. He always says, "I pee-pee." He trudged through the sand to the top of the sand dune. The first day, he spread his legs and held on to the fence slats. The rest of the week, he has been going no hands. He comes back, and I put a diaper on him. We put him in his stroller with a fluffy towel and cup. He took a nice long nap on the beach.

During Hank's nap time, the big kids did not rest.

Hank's birthday dinner at his favorite restaurant at the beach. We love to eat, but so far, Causeway Pizzeria is our favorite. Hank LOVES it! He likes the pizza, knot rolls, and pepperoni roll.





A homemade ice-cream cake from Painter's. Auntie Ashley, Uncle Rich, and Kensington gave Hank the Happy Birthday Thomas train.

Hank did not want to take the trains off of the cake. I finally took the trains to wash off. He cried the entire time I was gone. We had to move his plate because he wanted to put the trains back in the cake.
