Last Day as an Only Child

To celebrate Jackson's last day as an only child, we decided to have a day-long celebration. We began the day with a trip to the Build-a-Bear workshop where JCC made a Buzz Light Year bear for himself and a bunny to give to Weston at the hospital. Thank goodness Audrey was there and we went first thing when the store was empty! Jackson was a mad man, running from one display to the next!

Then we visited one of Jackson's favorite playgrounds and finished off the morning with Jacksie's favorite cookies from the Nestle store - chocolate chip! I might have let him have one too many since our nap was pretty much non-existent that afternoon! Once Daddy was off work, we took Jackson to Chuck E Cheese's! I think we might have created a monster - he LOVED it and asks to go back daily now!

The day was a ton of fun and filled with emotion. We couldn't believe that we were putting down one child for bed that night and would have two the very next day. I couldn't help but sneak into Jackson's room and into bed with him for a bit after he had fallen asleep. Even though he looks so old now, when he sleeps, its like looking back in time - those cheeks smushed on the pillow remind me of the fullness of his face when he was first born. How time flies!!!
