Happy Birthday Jace! This year was your best birthday yet! To start, she got your very own suitcase from Great Grandma Green and you packed your puppy, sandals. and a blanket to our annual Fourth of July trip to Glendo!
Then, when you go there, we surprised you with a new bike! "Here comes Jace on his fancy new bike!" you were yelling throughout the campground!
We got you a bike with handle bar brakes and you got the hang of them right away. I took you to a park at the campground, and some kids started taunting you for your training wheels. My defenses went up and I immediately jumped in and told them to stop being rude, but I quickly realized you could hold your own when you said,
Oh, well, your bike doesn't have handle bar brakes.
You shut them right up! They came running over to your bike to see the cool feature your bike had! I was so proud of you! They tried to taunt you again for having training wheels, but you didn't let them get you. You matter of factly told them you needed them to help you stay up and then you rode off! I hope you always remember that valuable lesson.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt.
When people make fun of you, it only works when you let them get to you. If you embrace it rather than let them make you feel bad, you take away all of their power. I"m so impressed by you! You are one cool little dude!
Some other highlights were your very own pair of jetski riding goggles, and magna-tiles.
At the fireworks show, you asked if they fireworks were for you party, so of course we said yes! I had the choice to have you July 3rd or July 5th, and I chose July 3rd so you would always have fireworks for your birthday! Love you Jace!! Happy Birthday Son!
