Parker would have preferred to have had a big party with all his pals, but in these strange times we are practicing social distancing and keeping contact with anyone outside of the immediate family to 6 feet or farther.
Yesterday we were on a bike ride in the neighborhood and we saw a boy sitting on his front lawn with balloons and streamers adorning his chair, as his friends drove past in cars. They roll the window down, wish a happy birthday, and then head back home.
We asked Parker if he wanted a ‘drive-by’ birthday party and he declined. We had fun regardless. Parker had his Bearded Dragon from the weekend before, and he enjoyed opening more gifts and visiting with his grandparents.
We ate crabs and had soup along with birthday cake and Korean pancakes that Skylar and Hadabogee made together. The pancakes were far better than the cake and I think we may have established a new grandparent tradition.
We also celebrated Hadobogees birthday with cards made by Skylar and Parker.
In the afternoon Parker, Skylar, and I went for a bike ride through the creek and we wrapped up with showers, screen time, and curating a music list for Parker’s new mp3 player.
