Taft's Birthday

 Taft turned 5 this year! Taft loves his birthday very much and looks forward to it every year.  The theme of his birthday this year was Robots! Taft loves robots and really wanted a robot for his birthday! Luckily, Dad pulled through and designed a fun robot with track wheels. Taft also got a robot shirt and had a robot cake! 

Here is a picture of Taft with his spotlight board! Taft likes to eat baked ziti, manicotti, and pizza. His favorite color is orange. He loves to listen to books. He enjoys playing outside and hanging on monkey bars. Taft is very strong. He can hang for 99 seconds, or longer, as long as you don't look at him or talk to him. Taft has a cute smile. He is fun to be with. He is a good brother. He likes Christmas! He also likes to be with Dad and help Dad. They share ideas and work on inventions together, usually involving robots.

Taft, Alyssa, and Joel all helped make the robot cake. Taft thinks he looks worried in this picture. I was worried, too. It was the great exercise of LETTING GO!

Taft was also lucky to have Gramma and Grandpa visiting on his birthday! We had a fun week together playing outside, going to Buc-cee's, visiting the Alamo, reading books, going for walks, seeing H-E-B's construction progress, and so much more!

The week before Taft's birthday, Taft celebrated his birthday with Vera and Archie because they also have December birthdays. We went to Sea World and also played at a park where the kids made bird feeders, played a balloon game, shot a turkey with darts, played on the playground, and we all ate pizza and cupcakes!

We are grateful Taft, for his birthday, for the enthusiasm and joy he brings to our family! We love Taft!
