Birthdays With The ODD Child

Birthdays and Christmas are usually a cause for excitement and celebration. In our house, Zach really knows how to put a damper on these occasions. This year for his birthday, we got him Blendy Pens, Croc-A-Doodles - he can draw on his Crocs, wash it off and start over with these, and a Razor scooter. All things he has seen and asked for. All things we knew he would like based on his interests. Zach's been dying for a scooter to keep up with the other kids around here because he refuses to learn to ride a bike. He's scared. Here's Zach's reaction to his presents.

The verdict: According to him NOT a very happy birthday because we didn't get him yet more Star Wars stuff. Nevermind that he got almost all Star Wars stuff for Christmas, he bought 5 new action figures with the birthday money one set of grandparents sent, and his godmom usually sends him whatever the newest Star Wars transformers are.

awww, but you did good. My 9 y/o doesn't ride a bike either. We are trying to figure out an alternative so he'll fit in, well, not stand out as much as he already does.

I can relate. Every year, I think I have gotten the perfect gifts, and I end up being off base.

My son Dakota loves star wars. Has all the swords and wants to start getting all of the action figures. I wanted to get him some at Christmas but most were sold out. Love the little crown your son is wearing.
