Because GaryTodd was in pain and recovering from surgery when his birthday came this year, Todd and I decided to wait until he could walk and actually enjoy his birthday. 
He is really such a sweetheart. When dad took him shopping for presents, he decided (before his dad) that he had enough presents. But before he would allow his dad to leave the store, he needed to get one last present. He and his dad found an employee and asked where the girl toys were. He explained to the man, “I need a Hannah Montana for Seanelle. You know, my name is GaryTodd.”
He really didn’t want Seanelle to have her feelings hurt or feel left out that it wasn’t her birthday.
He was able to celebrate his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese, and was even willing to share his birthday party with his grandmother… since it was actually her birthday.
When GaryTodd was ready to leave, he was ready to leave. He was happy that everyone showed up to celebrate, and the birthday presents were an added bonus. He didn’t even expect them. I had to track him down and tell him it was time to open presents!
He and his sister were very excited when they heard that everyone was coming to our house afterward too. They didn’t want anything more than to be with the family they love. They truly are special kids.
