About two weeks ago, I see him grab scissors, paper, and a stapler. He moves to the table and starts cutting.
Curious, I ask, "Whatcha doin?"
"I'm making a paper chain until my birthday." Then it dawns on him. "Mama, how many days is it until my birthday?"
We go to the calendar and attempt to count. But, oh yes. We had the same problem with Eva.
"Which day exactly do you want to count down to? Your friend party? Your family party? Or your real birthday?"
"Which one comes first?" he asked.

His friend party is always tough; in the middle of summer, everyone is busy. However, a few close friends and a few boys from his class this year showed up. They ran around like crazy and had a great time!

For Dyl, the family party is all about cousins and neighbors. Pool, bounce house, sno kones. Life is good. Oh yeah, then there is cake, ice cream and presents too!
As for the actual day, Dylan wanted to do the same as last year: boat ride and Rainforest Cafe.
We warned him that if next year he chooses the same, it may become a TRADITION!
