Josh's Birthday

Good news... we got to celebrate Joshua birthday with minimal fuss from his brother.  Last year it was miserable... Brandon could not understand why his brother got things and he didn't, even though he did. 


So this year I had Brandon involved in everything for his brother (except presents) and he did really good, quite remarkable.  He did have a small melt down once he saw all the gifts but it was short lived.  I showed him some photos of his birthday and I showed him how many he got and what he had for his birthday and then he was able to enjoy his brother's a bit.  It was such a great moment to spend with both the boys.  Josh really loved the one gift I threw togther today because I was in a rush... wrestling cards with some money.  His big present I don't think he quite got it.  We are going to see the WWE wrestling LIVE in Rockford and he is sitting 5 rows back from the center ring... I don't think he got how good the seats were but as he tells his friends he is more excited.  The seats cost a good chunk of change but as Don said, this is a once in a lifetime deal so we thought what the heck.  This should be interesting.  Both boys will be flying after the show..

I think having Brandon makes suggestions and getting involved was the best idea yet, also I think he is maturing in some ways and the Benadryl (see below)
