Gabriel Mullins Righter is officially four years old! As his mom, it was interesting how my mind automatically started reminiscing, reliving you could say, each important hour before, during and after his birth, as I passed through them starting two nights ago. Now I know why Mom, every year, without fail almost, calls us to let us know: “this is when I started labor, or this is when I started walking those stairs”, ( I can’t remember each kid’s specific scenario). It’s been four years and its clear as day in my mind!
This is the first year where Gabe really seems to be into “his story” as I retell it. He also has been VERY excited about his birthday. He knows when his birthday is now….September 30th. He was able to “write” a list of birthday wishes. This year it included a gorilla set remote control, and various other remote control things. (I’m still trying to figure out the gorilla one…his imagination takes us to many places never before imagined!)
Just to explain the theme for this year’s party, Gabe loves “American” stuff. American can be translated to military camouflage, soldiers, etc. No use trying to explain that we are all Americans, as well as soldiers. Well, maybe he is starting to differentiate, but its not quite consistent. He is starting to say camouflage more now. So, this year we came up with the idea to have a camouglage theme party. (This is my first theme party, and it was fun, I must say.) Enough said. Enjoy the pics and videos!
