Charlotte gave him an Angry Birds blanket. He has slept with it almost every night since his birthday.
Grandma and Grandad gave Alexander an erector set. Here he is building a catapult. Since then he has already built a crane, and is currently working on a car.
As Najp was visiting, we were able to take a rare family photo without dragging out the tripod.
A great birthday surprise was that Najp and Najm gave Alexander tickets to a San Francisco Giants baseball game that took place that afternoon. He was very excited.
We had very good seats right behind home plate. We thought it would be cold, but were protected from the wind. So we sat in our t-shirts in the sunshine and enjoyed the game, the view, the snacks, and each other's company.
At one point Alexander leaned over to me and said, "Even though the Giants are losing, this is still the best day ever." I wonder how much of that had to do with the ice cream in his hand.
He received some birthday money from our friend Steve, and used it to buy himself a little Giants bat. He has found a soft ball at home, and likes to practice in his room.
Many thanks to everyone who helped make it a day he will always remember!
