My Firstborn is Seven

Today was Tyler's seventh birthday. As Rob and I decorated with streamers and banners last night I recounted the moments leading up to his birth seven years ago (as I always do). Such an amazing time - I only wish I could capture that feeling and relive it every year.
Tyler was up by 6:10 and inquiring about the location of his presents. I ordered a Kevin Kolb jersey and a Lego set online and both were taking longer than expected. I had nothing wrapped for him, thinking the Lego set would arrive today and I'd wrap up a photo of the jersey and explain they are still being finished since Kolb is so new to the Cardinals. Tyler remembered that he gets to open one present in the morning and there was nothing to open...yikes! After showing him the jersey and explaining that he'll probably be the first one wearing it, he seemed a little better. Breakfast was his favorite cinnamon streusel muffin with a candle, chocolate milk and sausage. By the time he was dressed for school he was dancing around and singing.
After school grandma came over and when Rob got home we had pizza and a delicious Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake that grandma brought. Tyler got to open his Super Mario Bros. Wii game and daddy and the boys played it until bed time. When asked his high point today, Tyler replied "getting Super Mario Bros!"
