Brayden celebrated his 6th birthday (and last day in Champaign) with several friends at the Children's Museum. He had a great time! He had chosen a "Go Green" Theme (honestly, I didn't see what they did to make it a theme, basically let the kids play- but they had fun, so it doesn't matter). It was a great time, and a wonderful way to see all of his friends before moving to our new city.
Oh--- and by his own suggestion, he requested not to receive any gifts! Instead, he asked his friends to bring pajamas or books to donate to children in need/homeless/waiting for adoption, through The Pajama Program. He was thrilled to see a good sized box pretty well filled up with donations, that we will be sending in for him (as soon as I find the box in this move!). We were very proud of him for wanting to do this, and to see how proud he was of himself after collecting everything was amazing. We are hoping to make this a tradition- our boys want for nothing, but I find it heartwarming that a child so young can understand the concept of having his needs met, and others in our world being less fortunate.
