Today, of course, is a very big day. It is Mateo's 5th birthday and the first time that he truly has a full understanding of his age. Leading up to this day he kept telling everyone "my birthday is July twenty-one, I am going to be five." As has become tradition, I took the day off from work to help celebrate this very special day.
First he went to swim camp and then Mommy came during lunch with cupcakes to help him celebrate with his camp friends.
Everyone was so excited about the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles
After lunch, Mateo and Mommy left camp early so we could continue with the b-day celebration. "Hey mom, this is what a cool 5 year old looks like"
After lunch, Mateo, Mommy and Papi went to the movies to see Cars 3-D. Another pair of cool shades to help the cool kid accessorize.
After the movie, we went to Bounce-U (not pictured) and then headed to Aba and Abu's house with Grandma and Lucia where Mateo got to open some of his gifts. Doesn't he make a cute Captain America?
This year, Mateo matured a lot and has really become a caring, protective and, admittedly, sometimes bothersome big brother to Lucia. He is a loving, curious and funny kid who other kids love to play with and who we completely adore. It has been a year when he has been introduced to Karate and piano and is now quite comfortable with his full name, and writing numbers and letters. Mateo, your smart, athletic and adorable and we love you with all of our hearts.
