The day was so amazing because I got to watch over him almost the entire day and I just followed him around and watched him have so much fun. He was still learning how to talk so not all the sentences were complete or understandable but it was adorable. He led me by the hand and we bounced in the bounce house, played with the bubbles, listened to stories, colored some pictures, and ate food. I think the best part was when we took a picture together and I picked him up and he was so happy and content to be in my arms and be with me. I had such a wonderful time and it was just amazing.
