Backtracking: Jett's 5th Birthday

Jett had a wonderful birthday this year! He was super excited to be turning 5. Jett was the snack helper at school, and he got to pass out cupcakes to all his school friends. We had a small family party at home on his actual birthday like we always do. Jett blew out his candle & opened his present. He asked for one thing this birthday and was so happy to get the Disney Planes game for his Wii! We had his party with friends on Saturday.  Jett chose a small party at Chuck E Cheese this year. It really turned out well. Jett had a wonderful time, and everyone else did too! Overall, I think Jett turning 5 was a huge success!

Class at the Children's Museum

Hunt County Regional does a Healthy Kids A-Z class at our Children's Museum every Spring & Fall. This was one of the first places that we made friends:) We started last Spring, went again in the Fall, and today was our last class for this Spring. Jett has really come to love it. He participates so well during singing time with Mrs. Patti, he enjoys the story, & really does well during craft time. After 3 sessions, Jett still won't try any of the healthy snacks. Sometimes I don't blame him. I try them all & not all things are yummy;) Today we had a small number of kids, so they all stayed in the same group. Today was the letter P. The boys Planted Lima beans, played with a Parachute, and made the lean Protein, hummus for snack. We always play with our friends afterward. We are really going to miss this class in the Fall!
