Made in Taiwan

My early alarm worked out well, I managed to be up before him. I went in to snuggle up with him. He really wanted to get up, I convinced him to stay in the room a bit longer. I was in his bed, he laid down on his bench. It was a bit too early, but couldn't hold him that long. 

With his pj's on and super hero cape, he gathered his gifts and balloons.

He was more excited about collecting the balloons than the gifts itself. 

He was surprised to get his first super heroes and Star Wars sets. Everything so far has been Lego City and a couple of Lego Movie. Oh boy, it's a start of something new. He's gotten into super hero and Star Wars stuff since starting this new school. He plays it at school with his friends. 

He started building right away while I made him his favorite for breakfast, scrambled eggs. 

He put the balloons behind him while he had breakfast. It was the perfect backdrop for a photo.

We thought it would be nice to take a photo for his birthday. These stairs are right in front of his classroom. I noticed them the first day and see them everyday. I always thought it would be great for photos. Now we can do one for every year he's here. This first step has six through ten. 

We went to his class early to hand out goody bags for the kids. He showed off the silver star he earned today. He had a substitute today, I hope he wasn't sad about not having his teacher, he loves her!

He started back on his set when he got home. 

After his shower, Baba helped with it (not that he needs it, he doesn't really like help usually).

We asked him what he wanted for dinner and I could've guessed... Go Go Sushi. I've never been inside, we usually get it to go since it's up the street from us. He was very excited! We ran into our next door neighbor there and sat and talked with them. 

After, we went for a quick visit to Uncle and Auntie's for a bit.

NJ did his super hero set while we went to listen to Auntie's speech. He finished it in no time and got to play with it until it was time to go.
