With Reed and Jon's Birthdays falling so close together I decided on the day in between to do something special for the two of them. Reed really loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (he's never seen a movie or show but loves looking through Jon's old childhood books) so I thought that would be a fun theme for a little mini-party. During the boys' nap time I made turtle balloons and laid out Jon and Reed's gifts - matching turtle backpacks and cups, along with a floor puzzle and a book and hid everything away in our media room. I also made pizza for everyone, because obviously Ninja Turtles need pizza! Reed had a lot of questions and wasn't nearly as excited as I thought he would be, but I still might try to do it again next year if there is something I think they would both like. Reed did think the masks were cool and insisted on us wearing them around ALL NIGHT LONG!!!
In addition to the celebration we had another big moment when we let Kieran try some cheese on his pizza and he had no reaction. I can't describe the pit in my stomach watching him gobble up his slice and I still don't like having dairy in the house, but we have continued to give Kieran cheese for the last 3 days with absolutely no problem!!!
